I was a nfp arts administrator 25 years ago and ultimately left because of the lack of resources (not just the compensation, but the inability to effect the kind of change that I wanted to see with the resources available.)

We hire people who are usually grateful for the job and the salary is fine, for a while. What's really hard is hiring someone who's been in the corporate sector and really wants to transition in, but we pay so much less (like 25-30% less). Part of it is the mindset from above - a boss who has no life outside the organization, no family, no obligations, and doesn't really care whether he himself gets paid.Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15460136246441367993noreply@blogger.com
