A salary benchmarking study is conducted by the executive committee. The study encompasses all staff positions at the organization and is developed through a review of reputable local, state, and national salary benchmarking studies conducted for nonprofit organizations and community foundations. The report is updated every three years. The ed drafts an annual workplan at the start of each year that identifies critical goals and actions to guide her work in the year ahead. The executive committee reviews and offers feedback on her workplan, and it is then reviewed and voted on by the full board. In the spring of each year, all staff undergo an annual performance review. As a part of this process, the ed completes an annual self-evaluation and reports on all progress made within her yearly workplan. The executive committee reviews these documents and invites the full board to provide input on the ed's performance review. The committee synthesizes this information and meets with the ed to discuss the review. A recommendation for the ed's salary adjustment is then made by the executive committee based on results of her performance review, the findings of the salary benchmarking study, and funds available in the board approved budget.”
