“The alpfa national board of directors (bod) performed a national executive search for its ceo in 2018, which resulted in damian f. Rivera being selected as ceo in august 2018. The bod formed a search committee, comprised of two bod members and four national corporate advisory board (cab) members. The search committee executed the comprehensive search, which included framing criteria for applicants and the initial screening via interviews, after the bod and cab provided the pool of potential candidates. In addition, the bod secured the services of executive legal counsel to negotiate the ceo employment agreement directly with the candidate, in conjunction with the bod chairperson, once the search was completed. The full bod participated in the secondary interview and review processes and approved the negotiated ceo employment contract once it was finalized by its external legal counsel. Upon completion of the ceo search, the bod implemented a framework to address compensation review and comparison, performance evaluation, and succession planning for the ceo position. This process is documented.”
