Not-For-Profit Executive Compensation

We advise boards of trustees and their compensation committees on many of the same issues that confront for-profit companies. With scrutiny of non-profit executive compensation intensifying, boards of trustees have a duty to ensure that their compensation programs are reasonable and defensible. Our services to not-for-profit boards and compensation committees include:

• Compensation committee charter preparation and review
• Executive compensation strategy, philosophy and guiding principles
• Peer group development
• Collection and analysis of competitive compensation data including peer group data
• Processes to ensure "rebuttable presumption" of the reasonableness of compensation under Internal Revenue Code Section 4958
• Base salary plan development and administration
• Review of employee benefit levels and perquisites
• Review of possible use of incentive compensation
• Employment agreements
• Severance policies
• On-going advice and counsel
