| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 3 | UNITED WAY OF BERKS COUNTY WAS A LONGTIME SUPPORTER OF ADVOCACY AND CLIENT SERVICES DELIVERED AT BERKS DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING SERVICES. ALL PROGRAMS FUNDED BY UNITED WAY OF BERKS COUNTY ARE EVALUATED ANNUALLY BY A PANEL OF COMMITTED VOLUNTEERS. DURING THE EVALUATION PROCESS AND THROUGH CONVERSATIONS WITH BERKS DEAF AND HARD HEARING SERVICES' STAFF AND BOARD MEMBERS, THE VOLUNTEERS LEARNED THAT THE NUMBER OF CLIENTS BEING SERVED WAS DECLINING AND THE AGENCY WAS GENERATING REVENUE THROUGH INTERPRETER SERVICES. BASED ON THOSE TWO FACTORS, THE DECLINE IN CLIENTS BEING SERVED AND THE INCREASE IN FINANCIAL RESOURCES FROM INTERPRETER SERVICES, UNITED WAY VOLUNTEERS RECOMMENDED THE FUNDING BE DECREASED OVER A PERIOD OF THREE YEARS WITH FUNDING ENDING ON JUNE 30, 2019. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED THE RECOMMENDATION. THE REDUCTION IN FUNDING TO BERKS DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING AS WELL AS OTHER FACTORS, PROVIDED AVAILABLE FUNDING FOR SAFETY NET SERVICES BEING DELIVERED AT NEW JOURNEY COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND SERVICES FOR HOMELESS TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS THROUGH FAMILY PROMISE. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS CONTINUED: | EDUCATIONAL CASE MANAGEMENT - COMMUNITY-LEVEL OUTCOME: INDIVIDUALS RECEIVE CASE MANAGEMENT TO IMPROVE THEIR LIVES. - COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS (CIS), INTEGRATED STUDENT SUPPORT: THE CIS MODEL OF INTEGRATED STUDENT SUPPORT OPERATES THROUGH THE COORDINATION AND DELIVERY OF SCHOOL-WIDE SUPPORT, GROUP-LEVEL SUPPORT, AND INDIVIDUALIZED SUPPORTS FOCUSING ON IMPROVING ATTENDANCE, BEHAVIOR, AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE. AT THE READING INTERMEDIATE HIGH SCHOOL, CIS IS WORKING TO ESTABLISH AND STRENGTHEN RELATIONSHIPS WITH STUDENTS, FAMILIES, SCHOOL DISTRICT STAFF, AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS. LITERACY - COMMUNITY-LEVEL OUTCOME: STUDENTS IMPROVE MEANING-BASED LITERACY SKILLS. MEANING-BASED SKILLS INCLUDE ORAL LANGUAGE (VOCABULARY AND WORD KNOWLEDGE), TEXT CHARACTERISTICS, UNDERSTANDING OF PURPOSE, INTEREST, MOTIVATION AND RELEVANT BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE. READY.SET.READ!: THIRD GRADE READING PROFICIENCY IS A KEY INDICATOR OF FUTURE SUCCESS, YET RECENT PSSA SCORES SHOW THAT A HIGH PERCENT OF THIRD GRADERS IN BERKS COUNTY FALL SHORT OF BEING PROFICIENT. LAUNCHING IN 2012, READY.SET.READ!

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. THE PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL COMPENSATION IS COMMUNICATED BOTH VERBALLY AND IN WRITING TO THE PRESIDENT AND IS INCLUDED IN HIS/HER PERSONNEL FILE. KEY EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION PROCEDURES: COMPENSATION PROCEDURES FOR KEY EMPLOYEES OF UNITED WAY OF BERKS COUNTY FOLLOW THE ORGANIZATION'S SALARY AND ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM AND THE PERSONNEL POLICIES AS PROVIDED TO ALL STAFF. THE COMPETITIVENESS OF THE SALARY STRUCTURE AT UNITED WAY OF BERKS COUNTY WILL BE ASSESSED PERIODICALLY, AS DETERMINED BY THE PRESIDENT, BUT NOT MORE THAN EVERY THREE YEARS, BASED ON SURVEYS OF SALARIES PAID BY OTHER EMPLOYERS FOR SIMILAR WORK. AN OUTSIDE HUMAN RESOURCES FIRM NORMALLY DOES THE ASSESSMENT. IF THERE IS EVIDENCE OF A CHANGE IN GENERAL SALARY LEVELS, THE SALARY RANGES ARE ADJUSTED ACCORDING TO THE PROGRAM'S OBJECTIVES, WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (SEE BELOW). THESE ADJUSTMENTS DO NOT CHANGE THE GRADES TO WHICH POSITIONS ARE ASSIGNED AND DO NOT RESULT IN AUTOMATIC CHANGES IN INDIVIDUAL SALARIES. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, SITTING AS THE PERSONNEL COMMITTEE, SHALL REVIEW AND APPROVE THE SALARY STRUCTURE. THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL NORMALLY FOLLOWS THE ASSESSMENT DONE BY AN OUTSIDE HUMAN RESOURCES FIRM TO DETERMINE WHETHER CHANGES HAVE OCCURRED IN THE GENERAL SALARY LEVELS. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WILL DETERMINE IF A REPORT ON THE ORGANIZATION'S COMPENSATION PLAN/SALARY STRUCTURE SHALL BE MADE TO THE FULL BOARD OF DIRECTORS. UNITED WAY OF BERKS COUNTY'S POLICY IS THAT SALARY INCREASES ARE BASED ON MERIT AND SHOULD REFLECT AN EMPLOYEE'S CONTRIBUTION TO THE ORGANIZATION IN RELATION TO THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF HIS OR HER POSITION. SALARY INCREASES MAY BE LIMITED BY THE AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS. THE SALARY ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM, THEREFORE, HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO PROVIDE THE BEST PERFORMERS WITH HIGHER PERCENTAGES OF MERIT INCREASES. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SPECIAL TYPES OF SALARY ADJUSTMENTS, MERIT INCREASES ARE THE ONLY TYPE OF SALARY INCREASES NORMALLY GRANTED. |
