Key employees also undergo an annual written job performance review, which involves rating and commenting on critical indicators such as quality, creativity and productivity. The committee analyzes available compensation data for the similar positions and nonprofit organizations of similar size and scope in the northeast and new york city in particular. Current year compensation was based on the july 2024 review.”
