Nonprofit Executive Compensation

Nonprofit chief executive compensation is being scrutinized by regulators, the media, legislators, and potential funders. Does your board have a process that allows you to offer a salary that will attract and keep top talent without compromising your organization's mission or the public's expectations?

This practical step-by-step guide and reference will help you establish an effective compensation structure and maintain public trust by increasing the transparency and integrity of your compensation practices. Updated to address the current nonprofit environment, it includes

• guidance on how to use survey data in determining a competitive salary
• a sample compensation committee charter
• information on legal standards
• a sample chief executive job description
• guidance on setting and adjusting compensation in difficult economic times
• the board's role in reviewing compensation for other senior executives beyond the chief executive

While designed primarily for board members, this book is also a valuable resource for chief executives, senior staff, and consultants.
