FROM: Clifford, D. May, Jr.
Acting Deputy Director for Administration
SUBJECT: Office Evaluation Conferences
1. This memorandum forwards the schedule and offers
guidance in preparing for the Evaluation Conferences to be
held in November and December.
2. These Conferences, as those in past years, are held
for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness over the past
year of the substantive missions that have been assigned to
the Directorate of Administration. This series of Conferences
is structured about the activities performed by the division-
level components and provides an opportunity for the division
chiefs, who bear a heavy responsibility for the effectiveness
of the Directorate, to offer their unique and valuable insights.
The Evaluation Conferences serve to continue the dialogue
between the Deputy Director and the division chiefs that began
with the DDA Division Chiefs Conference held last April/May.
In addition, the Conferences provide the senior line managers
of the Directorate--the Deputy and Associate Deputy Directors,
the office directors, and the division chiefs--a forum for
reviewing past activities and passing judgment on the effec-
tiveness of those activities.
3. Each Office Conference is limited to 60 minutes.
This time limit will not permit a comprehensive and detailed
examination of all the missions. It is suggested that the
evaluation focus on a few key activities within each division
which are representative or indicative of the total effort.

SUBJECT: Office Evaluation Conferences
The presentation by the division chiefs should delineate the
purpose of the activity, the steps taken to carry out the
activity, a value judgment as to effectiveness, and some insight
into the reasons for success or failure.
4. The attached schedule lists by offices the dates for
the Conferences to be held in the DDA Conference Room. It is
suggested that each office allot time blocks that will permit
the office director to make a brief introduction, each division
chief to make an evaluative presentation, and the DD/A to chair
a general question-and-answer session. Attendance at these
Conferences will include the office director or staff chief,
in the case of ISS, his division chiefs, and the Deputy and
Associate Deputy Directors and associated 0-DDA staff officers.
5. Please forward to the Management Staff two working
days before the Conference the agenda and the list of office
attendees identified by position titles.
