“The ppfa bylaws provide for an executive committee which is responsible to the board and has full power to act in the operation and management of ppfa if an urgent matter arises between board meetings.

All members of the executive committee are members of the board of directors.”

This independent body is comprised of the officers of the ppfa board and 3 other directors, with the chair of the board serving as its chair. The annual review and approval of the salaries of these employees uses comparability data such as industry surveys, documented compensation of persons holding similar positions in similar organizations,and/or independent compensation studies. Proceedings are documented contemporaneously in minutes.”
