EACH YEAR IN EITHER OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER AN EVALUATION COMMITTEE COMPRISED OF THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF GIRL SCOUTS OF CENTRAL MARYLAND AND TWO OTHER BOARD MEMBERS (ONE CHOSEN BY THE CHAIR AND ONE CHOSEN BY THE CEO) CONDUCTS A PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL OF THE CEO. THE APPRAISAL IS BASED ON THE CEO'S ACCOMPLISHMENT OF EIGHT TO TEN PERSONAL PERFORMANCE GOALS, AS WELL AS THE OVERALL ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE ORGANIZATION'S PLAN OF WORK FOR THE GIVEN FISCAL YEAR. THE CEO PROVIDES A COMPREHENSIVE WRITTEN REPORT OUTLINING THE PROGRESS MADE TOWARD ACHIEVING EACH OF THE PERSONAL PERFORMANCE GOALS. THIS REPORT IS PROVIDED TO THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE SEVERAL WEEKS PRIOR TO THE ACTUAL EVALUATION MEETING. AT THE EVALUATION MEETING THE CEO IS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO FURTHER ELABORATE ON THE PROGRESS MADE TOWARD EACH OF THE PERSONAL PERFORMANCE GOALS, AND THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS ASK FOR CLARIFICATION, IF NEEDED. THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE ALSO REVIEWS SALARY DATA COMPILED BY THE NATIONAL GIRL SCOUT ORGANIZATION, KNOWN AS GIRL SCOUTS OF THE USA (GSUSA). ON A YEARLY BASIS GSUSA PROVIDES GIRL SCOUTS OF CENTRAL MARYLAND THE RESULTS OF THE SALARY SURVEY TAKEN BY GIRL SCOUT COUNCILS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR. THE DATA IS BROKEN DOWN BY BOTH REGIONAL LOCATIONS AND SIZE OF THE GIRL SCOUT ORGANIZATIONS. THE DATA SHOWS THE AVERAGE OVERALL SALARY PAID TO GIRL SCOUT CEOS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, ALONG WITH THE AVERAGE SALARY RANGE. THE DATA ALSO SHOWS THE AVERAGE MERIT INCREASE PAID TO GIRL SCOUT STAFF THE PREVIOUS YEAR, AS WELL AS A PROJECTION OF THE PERCENTAGE OF MERIT INCREASES THAT GIRL SCOUT COUNCILS PLAN TO GIVE IN THE UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR. IN ADDITION, THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE SALARIES OF OTHER NON-PROFIT CEOS IN THE BALTIMORE AREA WORKING AT SIMILAR SIZED AGENCIES. THE SALARY DATA OF OTHER CEOS IS OBTAINED BY REVIEWING THE 990 FORMS OF THE SIMILAR NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. ONCE THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE HAS REVIEWED THE CEO'S WRITTEN REPORT AND MET PERSONALLY WITH THE CEO TO CONDUCT THE EVALUATION PROCESS, THE COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE SALARY INFORMATION OF OTHER CEOS (BOTH GIRL SCOUTS AND NON-GIRL SCOUTS). THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE ARRIVES AT A MERIT INCREASE AMOUNT THAT IS BASED ON THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CEO IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE INDUSTRY STANDARDS.
