Factors that are considered include the executive's performance, duties, and responsibilities. The total compensation package is compared to that of similarly situated executives in other non-profit organizations to determine the reasonableness thereof. Compensation of other key employees and officers is determined by a performance evaluation involving the executive and certain board members. The compensation is also compared to persons in similarly situated positions at other non-profit organizations.”

“Grounded in judeo-christian principles, the christophers' mission is to use all forms of media (radio, video, web, print)along with leadership courses, youth contests, and our christopher awards programto encourage individuals of all faiths to put their faith into action, and to remind them of the gospel-based counsel, "do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." motivated by a love of god and humanity, all people can be christophers - or christ-bearers - in the course of their daily lives by seeing problems and working to solve them where they are and as best they can. Christophers see these instances as opportunities to be solution-oriented role models, serving as sources of divine light in the darkness of societal ills and personal challenges. In fact, the christopher approach is best summed up in our motto, "it's better to light one candle than to curse the darkness." since 1945, we have used our literature, broadcasts, awards, prison ministry, and youth contests to bring positive and constructive values into the mainstream of society.”
