Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 15A

A.the board of directors assigned to ann scheidler the duty of checking via 990 tax returns the salary of ceos of four other similar-sized nonprofit organizations, and to report her findings to the board. The board also discussed the performance of the president and the responsibilities of his position. A decision as to the compensation for the president was then based on all the above factors, as well as taking into consideration a general cost-of-living increase.”

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 15B

“Part vi, section b. Policies - 15. B.the board of directors determined the salary for the key employees, based on the financial reports of the organization and the industry standard for similar positions in nonprofit organizations.”
