THE PROCESS FOR DETERMINING THE COMPENSATION OF THE ORGANIZATION'S TOP EXECUTIVE, OFFICERS, AND KEY EMPLOYEES IS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY A COMPENSATION COMMITTEE, WHICH IS COMPRISED SOLELY OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS. USING AN OUTSIDE CONSULTANT, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE CONDUCTS AN IN-DEPTH MARKET SURVEY EVERY THREE YEARS TO PRODUCE COMPARABILITY DATA, WITH THE MOST RECENT STUDY COMPLETED IN APRIL 2020. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE, IN ADDITION TO THE ORGANIZATION'S PRESIDENT & CEO, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, AND CHIEF PEOPLE OFFICER, ALSO REVIEWS MARKET DATA ANNUALLY FOR CHANGES IN THE MARKETPLACE AND SPECIFIC JOB FUNCTIONS. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THE COMPENSATION OF THE EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN TO THE FULL BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR APPROVAL. THE BOARD'S DECISION IS SUBSTANTIATED IN THE MINUTES. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ALSO REVIEWS AND APPROVES THE COMPENSATION RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE NEXT THREE HIGHEST COMPENSATED OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES AND IS INFORMED OF THE COMPENSATION DETERMINATIONS FOR REMAINING OFFICERS, KEY EMPLOYEES, AND/OR MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE TEAM OF THE ORGANIZATION. ALL OF THESE COMPENSATION DETERMINATIONS ARE DEVELOPED USING THE SAME MARKET DATA USED TO EVALUATE THE EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN. |
