        <ExplanationTxt>The Organization uses an outside professional firm, National PEO, to handle all human resource issues. National PEO provides the board and management with comparative data for executive positions, primarily the CEO, and counsels on appropriate decisions. The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors makes recommendations for any increases or salary/compensation decisions to the full board, and a vote is taken and recorded in board minutes. The President and CEO work with National PEO to determine competitive and comparable salary ranges, and salary decisions for other managers in the Organization. None of the board members receive compensation.</ExplanationTxt>
