“David Fox served as Executive Director through May 31, 2025, and Arm In Arm's Chief Development Officer, Maureen Hunt was formally appointed as Executive Director on July 1, 2025. David's compensation was originally determined through a formal process involving an independent Executive Search firm, The Munshine Group. As part of that process, the firm conducted a fair-market compensation analysis for comparable nonprofit leadership roles. The Board of Directors approved a compensation package based on this analysis, and all deliberations were documented in the Board minutes. The incoming Executive Director's compensation, effective July 1, 2025, was determined through an internal Board-led process. While no external consultant was engaged for this hire, the Board Finance Committee reviewed prior market benchmarks, internal comparables, and organizational budget capacity to ensure reasonableness. The Board also referenced publicly available compensation data from peer organizations to inform its decision. The final compensation package was approved by the Board. Executive Director compensation is reviewed annually by the Board as part of the organization's budget and planning process.”
