Do you receive a performance evaluation?

Nearly 80% of Board & Administrator readers

who responded to last year’s compensation survey

report that they do receive an annual performance

appraisal from their boards. Whether that ap-

praisal is delivered in a timely manner is another

matter.

Only 57% of respondents say their evaluation is

delivered on time.

Note in this chart the strong correlation

between administrator pay and performance

evaluation. Those administrators who receive

an annual appraisal earn about $9,500 more

each year. ■

An interesting fact to note is that CEOs who

receive a performance evaluation tend to be far

more experienced and have greater tenure at their

organizations than those who do not. ■

Does the board offer a contract?

Only 30% of nonprofit CEOs who responded to

Board & Administrator’s compensation survey late

last year report that their boards give them a con-

tract of employment.

One interesting aspect of contracts and admin-

istrator pay is that CEOs who do have an employ-

ment contract with their board report an average

annual salary that is about $9,000 less than those

who do not have a contract. Those execs without a

contract also work with bigger boards. ■
