A. Executive Director: An annual performance review of the Executive Director is performed by a review panel comprised of ASCE's three presidential officers.

The review is subsequently reported as an information item to the ASCE Board. Documentation of the review and decision is retained by the Human Resources Department. B. Key employees: The Executive Director or other immediate supervisor establishes the salaries for key employees using information and recommendations derived from written evaluations performed by management staff, with review of third-party comparability data and upon consultation with the Director of Human Resources. The evaluations are approved by the immediate and second level supervisor and by the Human Resources Department.
