BOTH THE FINANCE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD AND THE BOARD WILL REVIEW AND DISCUSS THE COMPLETED FORM 990 BEFORE IT IS FILED. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS RELATED TO ITS PREPARATION WILL BE DOCUMENTED BY ACCOUNTING STAFF AND FORWARDED TO THE INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTING FIRM PREPARING THE RETURN FOR REVISION AND RECONCILIATION.

FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15A THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS A HUMAN RESOURCE COMMITTEE. THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE HR COMMITTEE ARE DEFINED IN A COMMITTEE CHARTER. THESE RESPONSIBILITES INCLUDE DETERMINATION OF CEO COMPENSATION AND COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY. A CONSULTING FIRM WAS HIRED TO ESTABLISH RANGES BASED ON MARKET COMPENSATION OF COMPARABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE CONSULTING FIRM PROVIDED THIS INFORMATION TO THE HR COMMITTEE. THE COMPARABILITY DATA USED INCLUDED OTHER BLOOD CENTERS, OTHER NON-PROFITS AND OTHER REGIONAL ORGANIZATIONS. THE DETERMINATION OF EXECUTIVE SALARY RANGES WAS DOCUMENTED IN A SUMMARY REPORT CREATED BY THE CONSULTANT, AS WELL AS IN HR COMMITTEE AND BOARD MINUTES. THE CEO SALARY RANGE IS EVALUATED EVERY 3-4 YEARS BY HIRING A CONSULTING FIRM TO ASSESS THE MARKET RANGE. THE LAST MARKET EVALUATION WAS PERFORMED IN THE SECOND AND THIRD QUARTERS OF 2022 FOR IMPLEMENTATION IN THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 2022. THE PLACEMENT OF THE CEO WITHIN THE RANGE WAS DONE BASED ON RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE COMPENSATION CONSULTING FIRM. THE CEO'S PERFORMANCE IS REVIEWED BY THE HR COMMITTEE. THE HR RECOMMENDATION FOR SALARY INCREASE IS TAKEN TO THE FULL BOARD FOR APPROVAL. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15B EVERY 3 YEARS A COMPENSATION CONSULTANT IS HIRED TO CONDUCT A MARKET EVALUATION FOR ALL POSITIONS IN THE ORGANIZATION. OTHER BLOOD CENTERS, NON-PROFITS AND REGIONAL ORGANIZATIONS WERE USED TO ESTABLISH THE SALARY RANGES. THE LIFESERVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY IS MARKET BASED. OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE FAIR COMPENSATION BASED ON THE MARKET SALARY FOR THE POSITION. THE MARKET EVALUATION WAS USED TO CREATE A SALARY RANGE FOR ALL EMPLOYEES IN THE ORGANIZATION. EMPLOYEES ARE PLACED IN THE RANGE BASED ON EXPERIENCE AND PERFORMANCE. AN EMPLOYEES' ABILITY TO ADVANCE IN THE SALARY RANGE IS BASED ON PERFORMANCE. MERIT INCREASES ARE DETERMINED BY PLACEMENT IN THE RANGE AND BUDGET.

FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19 THE ORGANIZATION MAKES ITS GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC UPON REQUEST.
