“Mercer conducted the compensation review for executives in june 2024 and for ceo in june 2025. The board compensation committee is responsible for the annual review and approval of the compensation for top-level executive management, officers, and key employees. The chief people officer monitors industry salary levels and informs the committee of any changes. To support this process, the human resources team uses subscription-based compensation platforms that provide salary survey data, market benchmarking tools, and analytics, allowing pancan to compare pay practices against peer organizations and ensure compensation decisions remain aligned with industry standards. Independent professional experts are called upon for higher-level positions and assist in establishing executive salaries in the competitive marketplace. Salaries in both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations are evaluated in order to attract the most talented personnel. Information is gathered, analyzed and reported to the committee prior to their meetings on compensation with the intent of ensuring that the executive compensation program falls within a reasonable range of competitive practices for comparable positions among similarly situated organizations. The review includes incentive plans and all fringe benefits as well as base salary arrangements. The board establishes the ceo/president salary level during the executive session of a called board meeting. Once approved, executive compensation packages are formalized in writing and, once accepted by the executive, retained in the personnel file(s).”
