About the Event
Join us for a discussion about current and emerging trends of greatest impact for family foundations. This session will address challenges in compensation where questions most arise, such as how to determine disqualified persons and reasonableness for foundation executives, including family members. The panel will also answer questions to address key topics such as how to prepare for pay transparency, how to determine salary budgets within the current economics and how to align your compensation philosophy to attract and retain talent.
This webinar series is presented in collaboration with Indiana Philanthropy Alliance, Philanthropy Ohio, and Council of Michigan Foundations. Together, these regional associations hope to harness and share the collective expertise of each state’s leading philanthropic organizations and trusted community partners.
