Her current interim contract, approved last month, grants Jones a base annual salary of $140,000, with an automatic 5% salary increase annually given acceptable performance. Additionally, Jones receives certain benefits, such as health care reimbursements, mobile phone reimbursements, and travel expenses. In assessing whether a salary for a nonprofit executive is appropriate, there are certain norms that the council board should consider, said Jan Masaoka, CEO of the California Association of Nonprofits.
