Shari’s Nonprofit Pick: Nonprofit Executive Compensation

Nonprofit Executive Compensation: Planning, Performance, and Play by Brian Vogel & Charles W. Quatt, Ph.D.

We just got a whole new crop of great Board Source titles in the Resource Center! Perhaps my favorite is Nonprofit Executive Compensation. If you’ve ever struggled with what you should pay a chief executive, or, if you’re starting a nonprofit and need some guidance on what your own salary should be, this book will be of great help to you. Chapters walk you through better understanding the board’s role in establishing salaries, aligning compensation with your organization’s mission, coming up with appropriate titles and job descriptions, understanding the marketplace, meeting legal requirements, and “passing the test of public and stakeholder scrutiny.” The final chapter walks you through common terminology, and several appendices cover the new IRS 990 form and offer a sample committee charter, job description, and contract. Check it out. Still feel overwhelmed? Be sure to read page 17’s sidebar titled, “Using Consultants.” Perhaps you may want to call in some help. And you don’t want to miss our FREE upcoming Learning & Leadership workshop titled, “When to Call for Help: Working with Consultants.” For more information and to register, click here.
