The President normally makes two trips a year regarding the project and is in regular communication with the Mekelle team. Quarterly written reports on the progress of the project are submitted.

| CEO executive director top management comp Part VI line 15a | A salary comparison and/or survey is used to benchmark compensation for the position(s). While the organization focuses on comparable nonprofit organizations to benchmark the compensation package the market for high caliber executives may be broader than this group. The Board will determine the relevant market data for the principal positions by obtaining reliable and comparable data from published surveys of both tax-exempt and for-profit organizations focusing on data from comparably organized institutions with similarly sized budgets. Market information from published not-for-profit compensation surveys such as GuideStar, industry specific reports and other studies, private foundations, market segments and other published survey data may be used as guidance. This data will be used to form a market composite to assess the competitiveness of compensation. Normally, the Organizations positions total compensation, including benefits, at the median of the market. Compensation can be above or below the median based on experience, performance, additional responsibilities, and need to attract and retain specific talent.Following the review of the salary compensation and/or survey, the committee will recommend for the Chief Executive and key employees, compensation packages including base salary and benefits and objectives and goals for the upcoming year. |

| General explanation attachment | Dignity Periods mission and principal activities are to keep Ethiopian girls in school by ensuring that they have access to quality menstrual hygiene products and education to end period poverty in St. Louis, Missouri. The Organization operates: to promote scientific and medical research on menstruation and menstrual disorders; to achieve a deeper understanding of social attitudes and cultural belief about menstruation by promoting high-quality ethnographic research on these topics; to promote the dissemination of accurate scientific information concerning the biology of menstruation and menstrual disorders to girls and women, with a special emphasis on reaching girls and women living in resource-poor environments and in cultures where menstruation is viewed negatively; to combat negative cultural attitudes towards normal human female reproductive physiology and to dispel false notions and cultural myths about menstruation and menstrual hygience; to work towards the provision of adequate water, sanitation and hygiene facilities at primary and secondary schools, the absence of which negatively impacts girls disproportionately compared to boys; to promote the development and use of comfortable, low-cost, locally-produced, environmentally-friendly, re-useable menstrual hygience products as an important means to achieving satisfactory menstrual hygiene for girls and women; to make such products widely available--at or below the cost of manufacture where necessary--in resource-poor areas so that the dignity of girls and women is preserved and the quality of of their daily lives is enhanced during menstruation; and to ensure through the activities outlined above that no girl or woman is forced to sacrifice her education due to a lack of satisfactory menstrual hygiene and the presence of negative cultural attitudes towards menstruation and female reproductive biology. |
