Return Reference Explanation
Schedule J, Part I, Line 3 The Compensation Committee of the Museum's Board meets twice yearly, once in 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/Director for any salary increases. In addition, the Committee reviews the performance and compensation of the President/Director and recommends any adjustment to compensation if warranted. - In order to do this in a fully knowledgeable manner, the Committee annually reviews information obtained by the Vice President of Human Resources though a variety of resources. These resources include an outside survey group used to benchmark each of the senior management positions including the President/Director against local non-profit organizations that are of a similar size. In addition, the Museum uses public resources such as Guidestar to access salaries of key people in Museums located in metropolitan areas. Finally, the Museum participates in and receives information from local and regional salary surveys of other Museums in New England. This process gives a clear picture of local, regional, and national salary levels for its senior management. - The Compensation Committee reviews this information in addition to the history of compensation increases, overall performance of the individual and of the Museum prior to approving or making recommendations for compensation increases.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 4 After his retirement in October 2017, E James Kraus received severance payments for a period of 11 weeks. Payments totaled $53,694.00.
