“Compensation of the executive director is set by the executive/compensation committee, which is an "independent body". They conduct a "comparability review". The executive director is not part of this review process. The executive/compensation commmittee looks at comparable salary and benefits data, such as data available from salary and benefit surveys, to learn what nonprofit employers with similar missions, and of a similar budget size, that are located in the same, or a similar geographic region, pay their senior leaders. The executive/compensation committee documents who was involved in the compensation setting process,(and their independence) and the process used to conduct the review, as well as the disposition of the full boards decision to approve the compensation in the minutes of a board meeting.”
