Abstract
The Assessment Center for Ohio County Commissioners provides a confidential and safe environment for individuals to experience job related activities. Expert panel members and Project EXCEL staff developed eight simulation exercises that reflect the tasks, duties, and activities of county commissioners. Each participant gets personalized, confidential feedback concerning 15 behavioral dimensions. Since 1991, seven assessment centers have been conducted with 63 participants. Project EXCEL, initiated in 1991, is funded by a grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation in Battle Creek, Michigan.
