“The organization's board of directors established a president/ceo (ceo) review committee. Annually, this committee is charged with evaluating the performance of the ceo, using input from board and staff surveys and from a self-evaluation document completed by the ceo. Once the evaluation is complete, the committee gathers information from a variety of comparability sources, including other not-for-profit organizations and the georgia center for non-profits. The committee uses this data, along with the annual evaluation, to determine appropriate compensation for the ceo and other members of management.”

“Policy for key employees is same as policy for president/ceo.”
