“The executive committee of the board of trustees of buckner international is responsible for evalulating the performance of and setting the compensation for the president/ceo on an annual basis. The evaluation is based on performance criteria and agreed upon goals and includes a written self-evaluation by the president/ceo, as well as invited comments from trustees who review the self-evaluation. The executive committee reports on its review to the board, including recommendations regarding the president/ceo's compensation, which the board then acts upon. During this process, agreed upon performance goals are set for the next year and are formally documented. At least every three years, a task force may be formed to conduct a carefully planned comprehensive review, which may include inviting feedback from staff, peers in buckner international's sector, and individuals outside the organization who have interacted with the president/ceo. Compensation decisions for all other executive positions are determined by the president/ceo based on performance as described in board policies and agreed upon personal objectives and may include other commonly accepted evaluation measures. Salaries are generally set at levels that are competitive with similar organizations according to reputable and relevant survey data.”
