“The executive director of needs beyond medicine, hereinafter 'the nonprofit,' is the principal representative of the nonprofit, and thus responsible for its efficient and effective operation. It is therefore the desire of the nonprofit to provide a fair and reasonable compensation for the executive director that is consistent with other similarly situated organizations. Other positions deemed 'key executive positions' within the organization (i.e. Any position that reports directly to the board or that requires compensation approval by the board) will also be determined by the process defined under this policy. Board approval: the amount which constitutes fair and reasonable compensation (including salary and benefits) for the executive director (and other key executive positions) will be determined by the board. This decision will be based on the candidate's qualifications and the availability of organizational funds for compensation, along with a thorough review of comparability data that documents compensation levels and benefits for similarly qualified individuals in comparable positions at similarly situated organizations. These data may include the following: 1 salary and benefit compensation studies by independent sources; 2 written job offers for functionally comparable positions at similar organizations; 3 information obtained from irs form 990 filings from similar organizations. Concurrent documentation: the nonprofit's board documents the decision? Making process used to approve the compensation for the executive director (and other key executive positions). This information will not be included in the general meeting minutes. It will be kept confidential and maintained by the chair of the board and the secretary/treasurer. No member of the staff will have access to this information. Documentation will include: 1 a description of the compensation and benefits, and the date it was approved; 2 the names of board members present during the discussion of compensation and benefits, and the results of the vote; 3 a description of the comparability data relied upon and how the data were obtained. Executive salaries are disclosed to the irs and any other agencies as required by law. Independence in setting compensation: the chair of the board of directors, who is a volunteer and not compensated by the nonprofit, will operate independently and without undue influence from the executive director.”
