“It is the practice of the breakthrough collaborative board of trustees to evaluate, assess, and set the compensation level of the executive director using a combination of factors including experience, education, background, skills, compensation & benefits data for organizations of similar size, function, and scope. This was last conducted during the most recent search for the executive director of the national office, which took place in the spring and summer of 2014. Since that time, the board of trustees has conducted one annual review of the executive director's performance, which resulted in the provision of a board-approved salary increase and bonus.”
