Association Executive Compensation and Benefits Survey now available
Data for Wisconsin included in two-part report
Earlier this year, WSAE partnered with 18 other state societies of association executives to collect salary and benefit data from a wide cross section of associations. The report examines the salaries and benefits of 35 positions in associations, analyzing such data as gender by position, average salary and salary increases by position and years of experience, leave and vacation policies, retirement and insurance benefits, and CEO contract conditions.
Data for Wisconsin-based associations has been culled into an additional, separate report. Both reports are available in electronic form.
Cost for both reports: WSAE member-$100 / nonmember-$200.
To order yours, please contact Laura Hodge or call (608) 310-7850.
