The committtee uses the wisconsin workforce development association salary survey as well as the guidestart non profit salary report to compare wages. The executive committee documents the reasoning and decision making criteria in its minutes of the meeting and in the letter to the ceo detailing any compensation adjustments. Compensation to officers has not changed in several years except to reduce it in 2021 for those board members who do not attend a meeting in person. The board has surveyed other non profits and county boards to see what meeting allowance amounts are in the region. The process of documentation of this is in board meeting minutes and in recorded written communictions with other entities.”

“Governing documents are posted on the website as are the conflict of interest forms. Financial statements are presented in the annual report. All meetings are publicly posted 7 days in advance and meeting minutes are posted once approved.”
