“To determine the ceo's salary, the board of directors will review compensation data provided by the sr. Vp of human resources and obtained from cuna (credit union national association), cues (credit union executives society), cornerstone credit union league, compease salary administration and other various sources as available at least every other year. The salary is set based upon a review of what credit union ceo's in the organization's region, and across the country, with similar asset size were paid in the previous year. The board of directors also compares the ceo's salary with the current parameters set within our salary administration guidelines. The compensation decision is documented in the board minutes as well as the personnel file. This process was last completed in 2023 with the assistance of an outside consultant from arthur j. Gallagher, corporation's executive compensation division. To determine key employees' salaries, the ceo in conjunction with the sr. Vp of human resources, utilize the compease salary administration program. National and local salary surveys are reviewed periodically comparing industries and geographical regions when available in addition to a paid service that is used to assist with salary ranges based on job evaluations. Performance is also measured and a salary increase matrix is used that takes into account the salary position within the range and the performance level. The process described here was last completed in 2024.”
