The Compensation Committee considers annual surveys of compensation levels of comparable executives to ensure the U.S. SQUASH CEO's compensation is consistent with the market. The Board conducts formal written performance reviews of the CEO at a minimum annually. Each Board member is asked to provide a written evaluation based upon pre-agreed criteria in order to determine these reviews. Each review also includes a review of the executive's compensation which considered the parameters set forth above. In addition, the Board Chair periodically reviews the CEO's travel and entertainment reimbursement practices and amounts to insure they are in accordance with customary and reasonable best practices. The Finance, Audit and Compensation Committee has the responsibility to determine whether or not it will recommend to the entire Board, for its review and consideration, an annual discretionary compensation bonus based on the results of the performance review. The Compensation sub-committee shall consist of the Board Chair, the Chair of the Finance, Audit and Compensation Committee and two other Board members. In considering whether or not a bonus is warranted, the Finance, Audit and Compensation Committee and Board as a whole will consider whether the Association has met the financial expectations set forth in the annual budget and other pre-agreed upon performance criteria such as membership growth, effective program implementation, improvement, and oversight, known as Key Tactical Indicators.
