“The Care Ring Executive Committee of the Board of Directors evaluates the Executive Director's compensation. The Executive Committee is comprised of the Board Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer, Secretary, The Executive Committee Chair, and the Human Resources Director (non-voting). The committee first meets to confirm the goals and consider compensation. The committee uses three salary survey sources (Ascent Peer Analysis, Non-profit Times, and Employer's Association) to benchmark compensation for the position. In addition to the salary survey data, the committee consults the annual budget prepared by the Treasurer and Controller. The annual budget contains a detailed schedule of compensation for employees and the Executive Director. Once the committee reaches a consensus regarding performance, it discusses compensation relative to the annual benchmarks and established objectives. The committee presents its findings and recommendations for review and approval during an executive session at the board meeting. The Executive Director is not present for the session. Following the executive session, the Board Chair informs the Executive Director of the Board's compensation decision. The process described here was last completed in 2024.”

“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: A Guided Journey Program (Maternal Health)Launched in 2021, the Organizations A Guided Journey (AGJ), is a maternal-child health initiative that employs residents living in six priority health zip codes to serve as Community Health Workers. These state-certified individuals work in their own communities to educate and support pregnant and new moms, providing information, guidance and connection to needed resources. AGJ is a complement to NFP and for the year ended June 30, 2024, served 493 families who may have not qualified for or needed the intensive, long-term support provided through NFP. AGJ seeks to intentionally address social determinants of health needs for families, such as access to timely care, food assistance, transportation, childcare and housing. Through this long-term case management program, families are empowered and provided with education and support to promote healthy lifestyles. The program is supported with an abundance of community partnerships. In 2024, AGJ was expanded through the receipt of a federal Healthy Start Enhanced Grant from the US Department of Health & Human Services. This expansion seeks to reduce the well-documented racial and ethnic differences in the rates of infant death and adverse maternal health outcomes in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg community. Care Ring was the only organization of the 10 nationally awarded that identifies as a standalone non-profit, with others being housed within government funded public health institutions. In 2024, 91% of women completed post-partum visits within 6 weeks of delivery, having established a medical home. Maturing the model, AGJ also began measuring early childhood outcomes in 2024. Through strong literacy education, 66% of AGJ families read to their child at least 3 days a week, compared to the national average of 55%.
