33-J. Aligning Executive Compensation with Strategic Priorities

Today's nonprofit senior living organizations must balance mission-driven care with financial sustainability, address workforce shortages, and meet evolving resident expectations. Strategic planning can help organizations address these and other challenges, but it is not a standalone solution. Organizations must also align short- and long-term goals with executive compensation so that top leaders are rewarded for achieving desired outcomes. This session will show you how. A senior living executive and board chair will share how they adopted a strategic plan that aligned multiple compensation elements with specific strategic goals. You'll learn to map goals to compensation levers and develop a pay structure that balances short-term execution with long-term mission impact.
