FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15A
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR - 2010. THERE ARE TWO COMPONENTS TO THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S COMPENSATION, HIS ANNUAL SALARY AND INCENTIVE PAY. THE ANNUAL SALARY IS SET AS A PART OF HIS REVIEW BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. IN THIS REVIEW, THE HR DIRECTOR PROVIDES THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WITH A HISTORY OF HIS COMPENSATION AND THE ANNUAL SALARIES OF ABOUT 10 OTHER NONPROFIT EXECUTIVES AS EXAMPLES (SOME ARE HIGHER AND SOME ARE LOWER THAN HIS SALARY). THE ANNUAL SALARY IS BASED ON YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AS AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, THE SIZE AND KIND OF AGENCY THAT WASHBURN IS, THE COMPENSATION THAT WE NEED TO PROVIDE TO KEY STAFF THAT ARE GENERALLY LICENSED AND OFTEN PHDS, AND THE PERFORMANCE OF THE INDIVIDUAL IN THE POSITION. MORE GENERAL NONPROFIT SALARY SURVEYS ARE SO BROAD THAT THEY DO NOT ADEQUATELY REFLECT THE INFLUENCE OF SOME OF THESE ISSUES. MORE SPECIFIC SALARY SURVEYS SUCH AS THE ONE DONE BY THE MINNESOTA ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS ARE MOSTLY OUT STATE COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH CENTERS WHICH REFLECT MUCH LOWER SALARIES THAN EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS IN METROPOLITAN ORGANIZATIONS. MANY OF THESE HAVE LITTLE OR NO FUND RAISING COMPONENT TO THEM, AND MANY OF THEM ARE LARGELY PUBLIC SECTOR FUNDING. OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS, THE WASHBURN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR HAS BEEN STEVE LEPINSKI AND ON AVERAGE, HIS ANNUAL SALARY HAS INCREASED JUST OVER 4% PER YEAR. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S INCENTIVE PAY IS FRAMED BY A BOARD POLICY ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION THAT INDICATES THE BOARD PREFERENCE TO HAVE SOME OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S COMPENSATION TIED TO ANNUAL INCENTIVES. THE ANNUAL OBJECTIVES TO BE INCENTIVIZED AND THE AMOUNT OF INCENTIVE TIED TO EACH OBJECTIVE ARE DETERMINED THROUGH CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AS A PART OF THE ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REPORTS ON HIS ACHIEVEMENTS OR FAILURES TO ACHIEVE THE PREVIOUS YEAR'S OBJECTIVES AND INDICATE THE LEVEL OF INCENTIVE PAY THAT HE THINKS HE HAS ACHIEVED FOR EACH OBJECTIVE. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE EITHER AGREES WITH HIS ASSESSMENT OR PROVIDES AN ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT AND LEVEL OF INCENTIVE PAY. THE OBJECTIVES AND THE LEVEL OF INCENTIVE FOR THE COMING YEAR ARE PROPOSED BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AS PART OF HIS REVIEW AND THEN CONSIDERED AND MODIFIED IF NECESSARY BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. THE COMMITTEE AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR THEN DRAFT AND SIGN A WRITTEN STATEMENT OF WHAT THEY HAVE AGREED UPON FOR THE COMING YEAR. THE OVERALL ANNUAL REVIEW IS DRIVEN BY A SELF ASSESSMENT OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR THE PREVIOUS YEAR. IT IS THEN SENT TO ALL BOARD MEMBERS WITH A FORM ON WHICH THEY CAN RATE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S PERFORMANCE ON THE AREAS IN HIS JOB DESCRIPTION. THEY CAN ALSO PROVIDE COMMENTS ON EACH AREA THAT THEY RATE. IN ADDITION, THE LEADERSHIP TEAM IS ASKED TO COMPLETE A FORM ON HIS PERFORMANCE AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. THESE FORMS ARE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE THEN MEETS TO DISCUSS THE SELF EVALUATION, THE ASSESSMENT FROM THE BOARD MEMBERS, THE INPUT FROM THE LEADERSHIP TEAM AND THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S ASSESSMENT RELATED TO INCENTIVE PAY AND PROPOSED INCENTIVES FOR THE COMING YEAR. THE PRESIDENT AND ONE OTHER BOARD MEMBER (GENERALLY THE VICE PRESIDENT, BUT IT COULD BE THE PAST PRESIDENT) THEN MEET WITH THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, SUMMARIZE THE DISCUSSION FROM THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, PROPOSE A SALARY FOR THE COMING YEAR, AND ACCEPT OR SUGGEST INCENTIVES FOR THE COMING YEAR. DIRECTOR OF FINANCE - 2010. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REVIEWS THE SALARY FOR THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE ANNUALLY USING COMPARABILITY DATA FROM NONPROFIT SALARY SURVEYS. THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE RECEIVES BENEFITS AT THE SAME LEVEL AS OTHER EMPLOYEES OF THE ORGANIZATION.
