The president prepares and, by the first board meeting of the fiscal year, submits the organization's annual performance goals, on which she is evaluated. The president presents progress against these goals on a quarterly basis at each board meeting. At the conclusion of the fiscal year the board chair performs a performance review, which includes any relevant input from employees and other board members. The board chair then submits to the board (in executive session) the president's performance review and a recommendation for any adjustments to compensation. The board holds a discussion on performance and compensation and votes on future compensation based on the financial position of the organization, the overall evaluation results, and comparability data from similar organizations. An overall performance assessment is then delivered by the board chair to the president, along with notice of any compensation adjustment.”
