Assessment forms rating the ceo's performance are also completed by members of all affiliate boards. Using the survey data as benchmarks and the compiled assessment data as an indicator of performance measurement, the executive committee recommends to the full parent board for approval of the total ceo compensation within the board established salary range for the ceo position.

The salary amounts for the ceo and cfo are further reviewed by the full parent board as a measure of oversight and understanding of total executive compensation for the top executive positions.
