Nonprofit Executive Compensation

Nonprofit Executive Compensation

James has negotiated over 200 nonprofit CEO contracts in his role as an executive recruiter. This experience has led him to negotiate executive compensation on behalf of boards to renew or extend CEO contracts. James is retained by non-search clients to negotiate employment contracts when recruited by the board or another search firm. And, at times, he works on behalf of boards and individuals, as a “friend of the family” to construct a contract that is fair and reasonable, that protects both sides from Intermediate Sanctions, that assists in the succession planning for the board and personal financial planning for the individual.

“James Abruzzo is a skillful contract negotiator who will maximize the potential of your employment agreement.”

He has compiled that knowledge in the white paper, Negotiating the Nonprofit CEO Contract. He has also consulted with the boards of dozens of nonprofit organizations to improve their compensation best practices, providing targeted benchmarking, encouraging the adoption of a compensation philosophy, and creating the documentation for “safe harbor” for the board and the CEO.
