“Process for determining compensation compensation is established for the president & ceo by the compensation committee and the executive committee after a thorough salary/market review conducted by outside compensation consultants. For the president & ceo position, the gathering of relevant comparability data from independent sources occurred in 2025. The process was conducted in a manner intended to qualify for the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness under the intermediate sanctions rules. As to the members of the senior management team other than the president & ceo, annually updated market data is also provided by the outside compensation consultant, so that the updated market data can be used in setting reasonable compensation for each member of the senior management team. Each year the compensation committee evaluates the president & ceo's performance through a robust assessment process which includes collection, interviews and performance evaluation comparing results to goals. The committee and chair of the board use this data to determine incentive compensation eligibility. The senior staff has a comprehensive performance evaluation and compensation review done at the end of each fiscal year. These include a self-assessment and evaluation by the president & ceo. Updated market data for use in setting reasonable compensation is provided by a national compensation consulting firm to the compensation committee for confirmation of reasonableness using a process designed to qualify for the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness (including contemporaneous documentation in the committee's minutes). The most recent compensation study was conducted in 2025 and the salary and total compensation package of the president & ceo was benchmarked by c3 nonprofit consulting group (a division of sullivan cotter).
