Hale Halawai Ohana O Hanalei

“Hale Halawai Ohana O Hanaleis procedure for ensuring that executive compensation is aligned with regional standards involves research for salaries with similar non profits in the region. In 2009, the average compensation rate for the Executive Directors of similar organizations was 30 per hour. These Executive Directors acknowledged that their current compensation did not reflect the value that their services/expertise might demand in the for-profit industries, but that it did reflect the reality of the non-profit budget and mission work to which they were each personally committed. A similar regional organization Hanalei Watershed Hui has one on-staff expert who is paid at the same rate or more than the E.D. and at Waipa Foundation, at least three other key employees are paid between 25 to 27 per hour. Given this regional data, Hale Halawai Ohana O Hanaleis current compensation of 70,0000 salary per year for the Executive Director is aligned with regional compensation of similar positions in similarly sized organizations in related work.”
