Key employee and VP compensation is determined by the CEO and CFO, in conjunction with a review by the HR Director.

BDO walks through various schedules of the Form 990 with full Board and answers any questions. After a Board quorum approves the Form 990, the President/CEO signs the return and BDO files it electronically with the IRS.”

“INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS (CONTINUED) - The window for such a dividend opens when a nations fertility rate declines and working-age adults outnumber dependent-age children. Doctoral students from seven nations travelled to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, to attend PRBs Policy Communication Fellows program, which equips young researchers and family planning experts with the skills to communicate evidence to policy audiences. We partnered with Amref Health Africas Advocacy Accelerator, who hosted us at their Tanzania campus and played an important role in bringing local field experts in policy communication to the workshop to speak about their experiences using evidence to compel policy action. As part of work funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, PRB in 2017 produced its first "youth fAMily planning policy scorecard" based on analysis of national policies and programs in 16 countries and identification of the most effective interventions to promote uptake of contraception among youth (ages 15 to 24). It was created to meet the need for an accessible evidence base for assessing and informing policies concerning youth access to sexual and reproductive health services. prb's new video, "we are kenya's future: young people and our nation's growth," is helping young practitioners communicate why youth matter to Kenyas economic growth and development. Along with the Centre for the Study of Adolescence (CSA), a PACEPolicy, Advocacy, and Communication Enhanced for Population and Reproductive HealthProject partner, PRB trained young advocates on communicating with policymakers about the demographic dividend and supported them in developing and implementing their own advocacy strategies. PRB offered small reporting grants to our Womens Edition journalists in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa so they would have the financial means to get out of their newsrooms and into hard-to-reach parts of their countries. In just one example of the impact these grants made, Pragati Bankhele, a Mumbai,India-based reporter, traveled about 250 miles east of the city to a district where child marriage was common due to migratory labor patterns. Her investigative series for the Maharashtra Times caught the attention of a national government official, who promised new safe hostels for girls and financial aid to keep them in school.”

“U.S. PROGRAMS (CONTINUED) - Through the establishment of a Data Products Redesign Group, comprised of ACS and decennial census data users, PRB help support an efficient and effective means to collect informal feedback about new ACS and 2020 Census data products and distribution channels. PRBs Index of Young Womens Well-Being made its debut in 2017. Among the first of its kind to compare the status of U.S. women across generations, the index drew widespread attention to how gains in American young womens well-being rose rapidly for members of the Baby Boom generation, but stalled for subsequent generations. Our analysts created the comprehensive index as part of the June 2017 Population bulletin, "losing ground: young women's well-being across generations in the united states." the bulletin shows how social and structural barriers to progress for young women (ages 16 to 34) in Generation X and the Millennial generation have contributed to persistently high poverty rates, as well as increases in womens incarceration and maternal mortality rates.”

“COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAMS (CONTINUED) - Our innovation for this series was the creation of an infographic that offers a concise visual distillation of the research, designed to inform policymakers and planners as they make decisions about community resource allocation and neighborhood development. This years edition of our popular data sheet on indicators and analysis of trends in female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) included novel features designed to make it more accessible online, particularly to the large social media community. The 2017 policy brief on expanding contraceptive method choice in family planning received the full multimedia treatment in a digital feature that included videos, Tableau interactive graphics, and links to related resources, providing a rich experience for those interested in learning about the topic.”
