Not to feed either side of the fire, but here are some stats to think about to add context to the question, all from Charity Navigator:

Appalachian Mountain Club (New England and mid-Atlantic states, based in Boston), Executive director/president salary, $278,000; salary's percentage of expenses, 1.52 percent; organization's revenue, $20.8 million.
American Hiking Society, $110,000; 9.35 %; $1.1 million;
Appalachian Trail Conservancy, $114,000; 2.41 %; $4.9 million;
Green Mountain Club (Vermont), $80,000; 5.07 %; $1.7 million;
PCTA, $99,000; 5.82 %; $1.7 million.

Make of this what you will.
For what it's worth, I think the difference between the ED salary and the other paid empIoyee salaries also should be considered.
