“The compensation of the CEO is reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors. The NMS operations team compiles and the Board reviews relevant comparability data, including compensation information from similarly situated nonprofit organizations (including IRS Form 990 filings), nonprofit sector salary surveys, and market reports on inflation and wage adjustments. Compensation decisions are based on organizational size, complexity, geographic scope, financial condition, and performance. The Board's deliberations and decisions are contemporaneously documented in meeting minutes. Compensation for other officers and key employees is reviewed through a similar annual benchmarking process. Management conducts salary benchmarking using nonprofit sector compensation surveys, government inflation indices, and peer Form 990 compensation data. Adjustments are evaluated for internal equity and organizational financial health. Final compensation decisions for key employees are approved by the CEO and Board. All compensation decisions are documented.”
“Form 990 is available upon request of the organization.”
“Governing documents are available upon request.”

| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 2 | The compensation of the CEO is reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors. The NMS operations team compiles and the Board reviews relevant comparability data, including compensation information from similarly situated nonprofit organizations (including IRS Form 990 filings), nonprofit sector salary surveys, and market reports on inflation and wage adjustments. Compensation decisions are based on organizational size, complexity, geographic scope, financial condition, and performance. The Board's deliberations and decisions are contemporaneously documented in meeting minutes. Compensation for other officers and key employees is reviewed through a similar annual benchmarking process. Management conducts salary benchmarking using nonprofit sector compensation surveys, government inflation indices, and peer Form 990 compensation data. Adjustments are evaluated for internal equity and organizational financial health. Final compensation decisions for key employees are approved by the CEO and Board. All compensation decisions are documented. |
