title: Pay for performance: what trustees should be applauding.
abstract: The responsibilities of the board's compensation committee go beyond just determining annual pay. The committee must develop a plan that outlines organizational goals and identifies the CEO's accountabilities. Then trustees can fulfill their fiduciary and stewardship roles by providing continuous feedback to their CEO.
