Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

PART I, LINE 3
THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE MUSEUM'S BOARD MEETS TWICE YEARLY, ONCE IN THE SPRING AND ONCE IN THE LATE SUMMER OR EARLY FALL. THE FIRST MEETING IS FOCUSED ON ESTABLISHING A RECOMMENDATION TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE THAT BUDGETS FOR THE UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR'S MUSEUM-WIDE MERIT INCREASE POOL. THE SECOND MEETING IS FOCUSED ON THE REVIEW OF THE PERFORMANCE OF KEY EMPLOYEES AND OTHER SENIOR LEADERSHIP STAFF FOR THE PRIOR YEAR AND TO APPROVE THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE PRESIDENT FOR ANY SALARY INCREASES. IN ADDITION, THE COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE PERFORMANCE AND COMPENSATION OF THE PRESIDENDT AND RECOMMENDS ANY ADJUSTMENT TO COMPENSATION IF WARRANTED. IN ORDER TO DO THIS IN FULLY KNOWLEDGEABLE MANNER, THE COMMITTE ANNUALLY REVIEWS INFORMATION OBTAINED BY THE CHIEF PEPOPLE OFFICER THOUGH A VARIETY OF RESOURCES.

IN ADDITION, THE MUSEUM USES PUBLIC RESOURCES SUCH AS GUIDESTAR TO ACCESS SALARIES OF KEY PEOPLE IN MUSEUMS LOCATED IN METROPOLITAN AREAS.
