Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 Position: Executive Director Process Overview: Per 99 Farmers' bylaws Art. 3, Section 4, compensation for the Executive Director is determined through a formal review conducted by the board of directors. The board assesses factors such as the Executive Director's qualifications, experience, job performance, and comparable salaries in similar organizations, and locations. Annual Review: The compensation of the Executive Director is reviewed annually by the board of directors to ensure it remains competitive and fair. This review typically takes place during the organization's annual board meeting or as needed in response to significant changes in circumstances. Factors Considered: In determining compensation, the board considers factors such as the Executive Director's tenure, leadership abilities, contributions to the organization's mission, financial constraints of the organization, and prevailing market rates for comparable positions in the nonprofit sector. Documentation and Approval: The compensation decision is documented in board meeting minutes, detailing the factors considered and the rationale behind the compensation determination. The compensation package is approved by a majority vote of the board of directors. The Compensation for the Executive Director has stayed the same for the first 4 years of operation due to budget constraints. Compensation was reviewed and adjusted at the last board meeting of 2023.
