| Explanation | EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROCEDURES: UNITED WAY OF BERKS COUNTY'S PRIMARY OBJECTIVE IS TO PROVIDE A REASONABLE AND COMPETITIVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION OPPORTUNITY CONSISTENT WITH COMPENSATION PRACTICES FOR INDIVIDUALS POSSESSING THE EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS NEEDED TO IMPROVE THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF THE ORGANIZATION. THE ORGANIZATION'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY IS DESIGNED TO: - ENCOURAGE THE ATTRACTION AND RETENTION OF A HIGH CALIBER EXECUTIVE - REINFORCE THE GOALS FOR THE ORGANIZATION BY SUPPORTING TEAMWORK AND COLLABORATION - ENSURE THAT PAY IS PERCEIVED TO BE FAIR AND EQUITABLE - BE FLEXIBLE TO REWARD INDIVIDUAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS WELL AS ORGANIZATIONAL SUCCESS - ENSURE THAT THE PROGRAM IS EASY TO EXPLAIN, UNDERSTAND AND ADMINISTER - BALANCE THE NEED TO BE COMPETITIVE WITH THE LIMITS OF AVAILABLE FINANCIAL RESOURCES THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE BOARD LEADS THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN THE EVALUATION OF THE PRESIDENT'S PERFORMANCE ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. THE PRESIDENT PRESENTS TO THE CHAIRPERSON INFORMATION ON THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS PROGRESS TOWARD ACHIEVING THE GOALS OUTLINED IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN, THE FULFILLMENT OF HIS/HER DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES AS OUTLINED IN THE POSITION DESCRIPTION, AND THE MANNER IN WHICH THE CHALLENGES OF THE ORGANIZATION HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED AND THE OPPORTUNITIES TAKEN. THE PRESIDENT ALSO DEFINES AND DISCUSSES CURRENT AND FUTURE ORGANIZATIONAL CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES. THIS INFORMATION IS SHARED WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. IN ADDITION TO THE ANNUAL REVIEW, A PRESIDENT'S EVALUATION SURVEY IS CONDUCTED SEMI-ANNUALLY WITH FULL BOARD PARTICIPATION, THE RESULTS OF WHICH ARE COMPILED AND ANALYZED BY A THIRD-PARTY PROVIDER HAVING NO VESTED INTEREST IN THE OUTCOME OF THIS PROCESS. A FORMAL REPORT IS PRESENTED BY THE PROVIDER FIRST TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR INITIAL DISCUSSION, THEN TO THE FULL BOARD OF DIRECTORS AS PART OF AN EXECUTIVE SESSION. FOLLOWING THIS SESSION, THE CHAIRPERSON MEETS WITH THE PRESIDENT AND SHARES THE RESULTS OF THE GROUP EVALUATION AS WELL AS ANY GOALS OR SUGGESTIONS THE BOARD HAS RELATIVE TO THE INFORMATION PRESENTED AND THE FUTURE DIRECTION OF THE ORGANIZATION. THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE BOARD COMMUNICATES THE RESULTS OF THE ASSESSMENT VERBALLY TO THE PRESIDENT AND THE INFORMATION IS CAPTURED THROUGH THE MINUTES OF THE EXECUTIVE SESSIONS FOR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE RESULTS OF THE ASSESSMENT ARE INCLUDED IN THE PRESIDENT'S PERSONNEL FILE. THE LEVEL AND FORM OF COMPENSATION IS DETERMINED FOLLOWING A REVIEW OF LOCAL COMPENSATION LEVELS OF CEO'S OF ORGANIZATIONS OF SIMILAR SIZE AND SCOPE, AS WELL AS THE COMPENSATION LEVELS OF CEO'S OF UNITED WAY ORGANIZATIONS OF SIMILAR SIZE AND SCOPE. WHILE UNITED WAY FOCUSES ON OTHER UNITED WAYS AND NONPROFITS TO BENCHMARK COMPENSATION, THE ORGANIZATION UNDERSTANDS THAT THE MARKET FOR EXECUTIVE TALENT MAY BE BROADER THAN THE GROUP OF CHARITIES. MARKET INFORMATION FROM ADDITIONAL MARKET SEGMENTS AND PUBLISHED NOT-FOR-PROFIT COMPENSATION SURVEYS, MAY BE USED AS A SUPPLEMENT.

IN ADDITION TO THE ANNUAL REVIEW, A PRESIDENT'S EVALUATION SURVEY IS CONDUCTED SEMI-ANNUALLY WITH FULL BOARD PARTICIPATION, THE RESULTS OF WHICH ARE COMPILED AND ANALYZED BY A THIRD-PARTY PROVIDER HAVING NO VESTED INTEREST IN THE OUTCOME OF THIS PROCESS. A FORMAL REPORT IS PRESENTED BY THE PROVIDER FIRST TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR INITIAL DISCUSSION, THEN TO THE FULL BOARD OF DIRECTORS AS PART OF AN EXECUTIVE SESSION. FOLLOWING THIS SESSION, THE CHAIRPERSON MEETS WITH THE PRESIDENT AND SHARES THE RESULTS OF THE GROUP EVALUATION AS WELL AS ANY GOALS OR SUGGESTIONS THE BOARD HAS RELATIVE TO THE INFORMATION PRESENTED AND THE FUTURE DIRECTION OF THE ORGANIZATION. THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE BOARD COMMUNICATES THE RESULTS OF THE ASSESSMENT VERBALLY TO THE PRESIDENT AND THE INFORMATION IS CAPTURED THROUGH THE MINUTES OF THE EXECUTIVE SESSIONS FOR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE RESULTS OF THE ASSESSMENT ARE INCLUDED IN THE PRESIDENT'S PERSONNEL FILE. THE LEVEL AND FORM OF COMPENSATION IS DETERMINED FOLLOWING A REVIEW OF LOCAL COMPENSATION LEVELS OF CEO'S OF ORGANIZATIONS OF SIMILAR SIZE AND SCOPE, AS WELL AS THE COMPENSATION LEVELS OF CEO'S OF UNITED WAY ORGANIZATIONS OF SIMILAR SIZE AND SCOPE.
