Thank you, DD, for your comment and the kudos.

Yes, the concern around nonprofit executive compensation is certainly not exclusive to B&GCA, although that is the situation that has flared up most brightly given the Senators’ attention. I think it is important to bring reason and analysis, rather than emotional and scatter-shot reactions, to the topic. I have received a couple of good questions about the B&GCA data, and am preparing a follow-up post to hopefully shed a bit more light on that particular situation. I look forward to continuing to contribute to the conversation around this as well as other nonprofit human resources and nonprofit topics.

Thanks again, and be well!

Replied on Twitter but wanted to add here, it is telling that Ms. Spillett’s cash compensation is third in line of other similarly sized and budgeted. Having been aware of this issue over my 20+ yrs in the NP sector…I have to ask, is the recent exec. compensation concern specific to B&GCA or all of the larger, national NPO’s? Also, thanks for noting changes beginning with 2008 990 allowing for more transparency regarding NPO’s.

Again, thanks for being a contributor to informed discourse.

Ericka, thank you so much! I’m glad to be adding to the conversations, and appreciate your encouragement in getting to this point.

I’m glad that I was able to bring a little more light to this particular case. As I mentioned in my reply to Dan, I’ve received a couple of questions and think I’ll have a few more things to say on the matter soon.

Thanks again, Erica. Talk to you soon! (Monday, right?)

Thanks very much for the feedback and compliment, Dan. Rationality is precisely what I try to bring to my work in the nonprofit sector. If it’s perceived as intelligent…bonus!

Based on a couple of questions that I’ve received in response to this post, I’m in the midst of a bit more research on this particular case. I’ll let you (and everyone else reading) know when I’ve distilled it. And I’ll certainly be continuing to add my voice to the conversation of compensation (and other people-related matters) in the nonprofit sector, so I’m sure we’ll have the opportunity to interact in the future.

Thanks again and be well!

Joe, we are glad your voice is out there in the nonprofit social sector world. And now I have a more accurate understanding of the situation.

A rational analysis. Like a rain storm in the parched desert. Would that others would apply rationality and intelligence to the case in the way you have here.
