“The board conducts an annual evaluation of the executive director and determines if a salary increase is warranted. If increase is approved, the board reviews state and national compensation reports to determine appropriate increase amount.

For top management officials, the executive director makes the determination based on performance, duties, availablity of funds, and state compensation reports. The executive director may also consult hr, finance manager, and deputy directors before finalizing the decision.”
