[pct-l] PCTA rating by CharityNavigator

[tom aterno]

Sounds like a few are miffed at Liz's compensation.  My take is that she receives a salary commensurate with the responsibility of watching over the best trail in the US of A.  
 
Watch out Liz, I sense an Occupy the PCTA in the works.

Thank you for the link and information.  I also believe the compensation for the Executive Director is excessive.  According to the PCTA website, PCTA has a staff of eight and a compensation of $99,296 or 5.82% of expenses for the executive director appears to work against the primary mission of the PCTA.  There are only about 7800 members according to the PCTA.  So effectively $12.73 comes out of each annual membership donation to compensate a single employee.  

The PCTA states "The mission of the Pacific Crest Trail Association is to protect, preserve and promote the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as an internationally significant resource for the enjoyment of hikers and equestrians, and for the value that wild and scenic lands provide to all people."  

I hope the PCTA gets back to spending membership donations on the mission of the PCTA and less on executive compensation.

Sincerely,

Paul Bodnar
