“Uds has a formal executive compensation process. Uds completes an executive compensation study by selecting an outside, independent advisor. The advisor works with our sr. Leadership team and our board of directors to review job descriptions, organization background and future strategy and financial information. The advisor conducts a market analysis by soliciting multiple survey sources and viewing data by industry segment, non-profit segments, regional scope and similar revenue size. The advisor presents findings and recommendations to the executive committee of the board. Uds also has a formal director-level compensation process. It is the same process as the executive process. However, the findings are presented to and approved by the senior leadership team and human resources.”
