-Years ago I found out that many charities and fraternal organization and funds and etc., etc, ...pay what I consider exorbitant salaries. I remember in the 80's when a regional head of the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) was found to be making #400,000/year (at that time, twice as much as the president of the US) with a $4 million retirement package...plus he had the CFC buy a condo for his girlfriend in Florida. -Since then , I always check a charity's pay scales as best I can. In many cases it borders on the sinful what these people pay themselves out of contributions from giving people, ...many of whom make a real sarifice to send in a contribution. -Granted you need some skills to run one of these organizations, ....but not that require $400,000 compensation. -My rule of thumb is that teh nation pays an army general about $180,000 a year to train, deploy, and fight a division unit of 25,000 people, 6,000 vehicles, and 5 million tons of supplies, ..all while others are trying to kill him and his troops. I'm guessing being teh CEO of WETA is not quite as difficult. -Private business where a CEO makes a profit is one thing; a charity or tax funded activity is quite another. -If below URL works, it gives a look into general pay scales for charites. Any specific charity is easy to look up on the web.
