At the end of each reporting period, the president prepares a report for the chairperson describing the president's performance against these objectives. The chairperson then analyzes this information, consults with the other board members, and then sets the president's compensation for the next year.

Compensation for other officers is determined by the president as part of the formal, annual performance evaluation process, which includes comprehensive written performance evaluations which are maintained in the human resources department.
