[pct-l] some stats on a few trail non-profits

[giniajim]

You might start working for one of the organizations even as a volunteer. 
Thinking in the headquarters business office.  Get a feel for what's going 
on and what training is needed to move up in the organization.  And then 
make a career plan.  Don't shy away from looking for advancement 
opportunities in related organizations.  Folks do move around for promotions 
or new opportunities; its not frowned upon.  I'm a member of an 
environmental group and one of our best folks just gave his notice to move 
onward and upward.  We wish him the best and have started looking for his 
replacement.

Makes me wish I'd gone to a buisness college and work towards being a CEO of 
a hiking organization. I'd love to make that kind of dough, plus work with 
hiking trails, the community and fellow hikers I'd do it for less.

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.

Jim
