        <Explanation>CEO: Prior to determining a compensation increase for the President &amp; CEO, a compensation analysis is completed. This analysis is generally compiled by the Vice President of Human Resources (or an independent compensation consultant) using comparable salary data from three or more nonprofit salary surveys. Additionally, comparable organization salary and benefit information is compiled from the federal Form 990 of similar organizations to use as a reference. The compensation analysis is provided to the Board Chair, as well as the CEO Evaluation &amp; Compensation Committee. They provide any recommendations to the full Board on a salary increase for the President &amp; CEO. This is typically completed during the Executive Session of a Board meeting or through confidential email. Any increase in compensation for this position requires unanimous approval of the Board. The Chair of the Board of Directors then provides a letter to the Vice President of Human Resources on the newly approved salary and effective date. CFO: Prior to determining a compensation increase for the CFO, a compensation analysis is completed. This analysis is generally compiled by the Vice President of Human Resources using comparable salary data from three or more nonprofit salary surveys. The compensation analysis is provided to the President &amp; CEO. Based on the performance evaluation of the CFO, the President &amp; CEO provides a memo to the Board of Directors requesting a compensation adjustment along with the compensation analysis and a proposed Board of Directors resolution authorizing a salary increase. This is typically completed during the Executive Session of a Board of Directors meeting or through confidential email. Any increase in compensation for this position requires unanimous approval of the Board of Directors. The President &amp; CEO communicates Board approval to the Vice President of Human Resources.</Explanation>
