I learned through a review of the Clark County Food Bank’s Form 999, which reports income and expenses, a fact that alarmed me. The CEO earns $197,500 per year and $30,000 in deferred compensation.
As one of those who led the campaign to build the current distribution center, this compensation should be made known to all donors and also explained. By reference, both the director of the Oregon Food Bank and Northwest Harvest earn less than the president of this food bank.
I would hope the board members would justify this compensation that seems very high for a nonprofit in our region.
