The Executive Advisory Committee (EAC)is responsible for performing employee performance evaluations for the President;2. Those evaluations are prepared and reviewed at the November EAC meeting and are discussed in detail with the President;3. The results of the evaluations are used to determine whether the President is eligible for a compensation adjustment;4. A detailed study of the components of the President's compensation is prepared by the HR Department and reviewed at the November EAC meeting;5. A study of comparable compensation is prepared by the Human Resources Department using the resources of the Christian Leadership Alliance and the Chronicle of Philanthropy. Any compensation adjustments are compared to these resources to determine that the total compensation will be comparable to entities of our size in the Christian non-profit sector;6. A compensation package is then agreed upon by the EAC and presented to the full board in executive session where it is then voted upon;7. Details of the compensation package are then communicated to the Human Resources department by the board chairman.”

“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Families of Martyrs:When a pastor, evangelist or other Christian worker is imprisoned or killed because of his or her activities, the immediate family is often left with little means of financial support. This fund is used to help sustain these believers until they can find alternative means of support. The fund is also used to provide immediate support to those who have suffered persecution themselves. Support may include living expenses, relocation, medical assistance or vocational training. In 2013, VOM provided medical assistance to approximately 570 patients in 11 countries, with the majority of the patients being from Nigeria and Pakistan.”
