DescWGBH Boston has undertaken a wide range of activities that have led to its steady growth through the years as one of America's preeminent public media institutions. From its roots as a local public TV and radio station, WGBH grew to become PBS's single largest producer of content for television (prime-time and children's series) and the Web, as well as a major supplier of programs heard nationally on public radio and a pioneer in educational multimedia and in media access services for audiences with hearing or vision loss.In complex, uncertain times like these, the role WGBH and public media play is more mportant than ever: providing trusted, in-depth information and thoughtful perspective that empower citizens and families. WGBH is embracing these challenges with significantly expanded independent news and analysis, both locally and nationally, that tackle the big questions; with children's content that builds literacy, science, engineering, and math skills from pre-kindergarten through high school; with an ambitious new Web-based initiative that delivers trusted information on all things science. At the same time, we are transforming WGBH into a digital educational media powerhouse that welcomes both loyal and new audiences to experience and share our content at their convenience through our expanding digital and on-demand services.Desc

This committee reviewed the Chief Executive Officer's annual goals and performance, and determined the Chief Executive Officer's compensation package. The committee also reviewed and approved the compensation package for all executive leaders that was prepared by the CEO and COO. The committee utilized third party data to benchmark comparable compensation packages for the CEO and other key executive roles in functionally comparable positions and similar sized organizations. The compensation review is an annual process and is documented each year in the compensation committee minutes, in which the deliberation and decisions regarding the compensation arrangements for the CEO and the executive leadership team are recorded. The compensation committee reports on its meetings and actions to the full board of trustees or the executive committee of the board.
