The combined self appraisals are reviewed by chairman and discussed with the finance committee during the budget process. The executive director recommends changes in compensation to the chairman and committee for employees at the director and manager level. The full board approves changes in compensation for: the executive director, director of programs and outreach, director of development, land manager and office manager. The executive director approves compensation increases for lower level employees after review by the finance committee. This process was last undertaken between october and november 2014.”
