This data may include the following: 1. Salary and benefit compensation studies by independent sources; 2. Written job offers for positions at similar organizations; 3. Documented telephone calls about similar positions at both nonprofit and for-profit organizations; and 4. Information obtained from the IRS Form 990 filings of similar organizations. Concurrent Documentation - To approve the compensation for the Executive Director, the board must document how it reached its decisions, including the data on which it relied, in minutes of the meeting during which the compensation was approved. Independence in Setting Compensation - The Chair of the board of directors, who is a volunteer and not compensated by the nonprofit, will operate independently without undue influence from the Executive Director.
