ALL EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING KEY EMPLOYEES, ARE REVIEWED FOLLOWING A PROCESS ESTABLISHED BY THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA. ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REVIEWS ARE BASED ON "SMART GOALS" WHICH ARE ESTABLISHED FOR EACH EMPLOYEE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. PERFORMANCE ON EACH OF THESE SMART GOALS ARE RATED AND ARE USED TO DETERMINE AN EMPLOYEE'S OVERALL REVIEW. THE REVIEW PROCESS ALSO INCORPORATES AN EMPLOYEE'S CORE COMPETENCIES, SUCH AS COMMUNICATION SKILLS, CUSTOMER SERVICE, WORK STYLE, LEADERSHIP, BUSINESS KNOWLEDGE, EFFICIENCY AND QUALITY OF WORK. EACH REVIEW IS PREPARED BY THAT EMPLOYEE'S SUPERVISOR AND ALSO BY THE SUPERVISOR'S STAFF LEADER. IN THE CASE OF KEY EMPLOYEES, THE EXECUTIVE OFFICER PREPARES THEIR REVIEWS AND THOSE REVIEWS ARE ALSO REVIEWED BY THE AREA DIRECTOR FROM THE NORTHEAST REGION ASSIGNED TO OUR COUNCIL. ALL EMPLOYEE POSITIONS HAVE SALARY CLASSIFICATIONS AND SALARY RANGES FOR EACH CLASS. DEPENDING ON THE EMPLOYEE'S REVIEW AND WHERE THEY STAND AGAINST THE MIDPOINT OF THE SALARY RANGE FOR THAT POSITION, THE BSA ESTABLISHES AN ANNUAL RECOMMENDED SALARY INCREASE BASED ON PERFORMANCE. THIS PROCESS IS IN PLACE IN ALL BSA COUNCILS. THE CEO COMPENSATION IS DETERMINED IN THE SAME PROCESS AS ABOVE WITH THE BOARD PRESIDENT AND THE AREA DIRECTOR SIGN OFF ON THE PERFORMANCE REVIEW. THERE ARE SIMILIAR SALARY CLASSIFICATIONS AND RECOMMENDED PERFORMANCE BASED MERIT INCREASES. IN OUR COUNCIL, THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT, ALONG WITH MEMBERS OF THE PERSONNEL COMMITTEE (WHICH INCLUDES AT LEAST TWO PAST PRESIDENTS) FUNCTIONING AS THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE, ALSO PARTICIPATE IN THE CEO'S REVIEW PROCESS AND MERIT INCREASE DECISION.
