“The evaluation of the executive director is led by the personnel committee of the board of directors. The personnel committee uses an evaluation survey of both staff and board members to get feedback on the performance of the executive director. The personnel committee synthesizes the survey information and presents it to the executive director during the annual performance review. Typical salary increases are about 2% per year in keeping with what occurs with the rest of the staff. From time to time when requested by the executive director or when determined necessary by the personnel committee or board of directors, a salary review is conducted. During a salary review process, information is gathered from publications of the minnesota council of nonprofits and via collection of irs form 990s that are published online of executive director salaries from organizations of similar size and mission both in duluth and around the state. Upon review of salaries of executive directors from other organizations and in consideration with the performance of the executive director and the annual budget, adjustments are made to the salary of the executive director.”
