“Ceo compensation process: the ceo salary scale is established in the same manner all pay scales at the agency are established, and that is through comparison with similar human service organizations in budget size, breadth of programming, number of employees, years in position, and geographic location (midwest). The agency uses three different sources for the comparison: the wisconsin association of child caring agencies annual salary comparison report, the minnesota council of child caring agencies annual salary survey, and the alliance for children and families national salary survey. The ceo scale is researched, developed and updated by the hr director. A salary scale is developed with a low, mid, and high end of the scale in a manner consistent with all scales at the agency. The mid point represents the 50th percentile of the external benchmarks and the minimum and maximum for the range are set at +/- 20% of the mid point. Ceo evaluations are conducted annually by the board chair and vice-chair and reviewed by the executive committee of the board. The evaluation includes a written narrative completed by the ceo and an oral discussion with the board chair and vice-chair. The narrative and discussion includes a review of the agency's strategic objectives, professional goals, and any other evaluation criteria as established by the executive committee. A summary narrative of the evaluation is prepared by the board chair and/or vice-chair and submitted to the executive committee along with any salary/compensation recommendation. Any salary increase must be approved by the executive committee based on overall agency and individual performance as established through the annual review and goal setting process. The executive committee, at their discretion, determines where on the ceo salary scale the current ceo should be. The final evaluation summary is then signed by the board chair and ceo and placed in the ceo's permanent file.”

“The center does not make its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public, but will be evaluating the need to do so in the future.”
