This might be a little long, I apologize.

Some background: I work for a small nonprofit organization. My direct supervisor is our executive director and almost all of the work I do is assigned by and approved by him. He is rather difficult to work with, as he procrastinates and will not approve things I've worked on until the very last minute before a deadline, will request lots of changes at the very last minute, etc. I've been working for him for 18+ months and have yet to find a way to get him to not wait until the last minute regarding most projects. I've been pretty flexible (staying late, working extra at home) in order to get stuff accomplished by set deadlines but it's a tough situation all around.

My boss answers to the nonprofit's board, and he has an annual performance review by the board's executive committee. That review was this week and took place in our office. The office is small, and the walls are VERY thin. I could hear every word of his performance review in my office without moving from my desk.

In his review, the board accused him of not accomplishing a certain project they'd agreed to finish last year. He essentially admitted to not accomplishing it....and blamed me for it. Saying basically, "I'm not sure why she didn't get that done. It's a mystery to me." The board discussed ways to "better manage" me to get projects done.

Until I heard this through the wall, I had NO IDEA about this specific project. It was never assigned to me, and this is the first I've ever heard of it. I searched through old emails and found no mention of this project.

So now I don't know what to do. What he said about me and my work was a blatant lie and made me look bad to the board (who can approve pay raises for me, decide to fire me, etc.). I work VERY hard, often well over my set work schedule to get things accomplished for my boss, and he basically threw me under the bus to cover his ***.

I've been looking for another job but haven't found anything yet. Aside from continuing my job hunt, is there anything I can do? What would you do? Should I say something to him? To the board? Help!!!
