The executive committee of the board met with the executive director to review the assessment and track progress toward goals. The entire board of directors was surveyed to add evidence and comment on performance. These comments were transcribed and patterns were identified that illustrated areas of strength and areas for growth. This information was then shared with the executive director as well as distributed to the entire board. Simultaneously, the board engaged in benchmarking salary guidelines across the sector in the region. The Council of New Jersey Grantmakers and other non-profit entities were consulted for salary guides.
