CEO, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, OR TOP MANAGEMENT - THIS PROCESS IS HANDLED BY OUR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OFFICERS. THEY MEET ONE DAY PRIOR TO AN ALREADY SCHEDULED MEETING AND EVALUATE THE PRESIDENT & CEO YEAR AND THEN TOGETHER DETERMINE WHAT BENEFITS HE WOULD RECEIVE BASED ON THOSE FACTS WHICH INCLUDES ANY SALARY INCREASE, BONUS, OR DEFERRED COMPENSATION. ABOUT EVERY THREE YEARS THE ASSOCIATION CONDUCTS A SALARY SURVEY THAT IS PROVIDED TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. THE ORGANIZATION IS CURRENTLY USING AN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION CONTRACTOR TO PROVIDE A COMPENSATION STUDY FOR THE CEO POSITION. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE FOR THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR STILL USES THE CHAIRMAN, CHAIR-ELECT, AND IMMEDIATE PAST CHAIR TO REVIEW AND HANDLE ALL COMPENSATION MATTERS.
