“To determine the compensation for the organization's chief professional officer, the executive committee met in special session. Prior to the meeting, the board president compiles salary data from other local not- for-profit agencies by obtaining form 990 information from www.guidestar.com.

Discussions, analysis, and the final decision were documented by the committee. The committee signs the document verifying approval and that the committee was independent and had no conflict of interest. The committee's decision then goes before the full board for final approval.
