“The compensation program of ccss was developed following an in-depth study and analysis of various job descriptions and duties, employee qualifications, professional and geographic compensation surveys, mission-based/non-profit markets, and ccss estimated and projected revenues. With the assistance of a professional and independent compensation consultant, ccss created a defined and objective compensation program that is fair, reasonable, and reflective of its underlying mission-based, non-profit purpose. Furthermore, it was designed to pay reasonable compensation based on an employees geographic location. The compensation program as a whole is designed to attract and retain quality staff while preserving the organization's religious mission and charitable objectives. All compensation programs and individual arrangements are established and maintained by an independent compensation committee. The ccss board of directors shall review and approve executive compensation as recommended by the compensation committee and shall contemporaneously substantiate its deliberation and decision in the minutes.”
