2004 Individual Compensation and Notes (December 2005). Some excerpts: John H. Adams, President, NRDC: $704,796 (whew!); Steven Sanderson, CEO Wildlife Conservation Society: $495,422; Mark Van Putten, President, National Wildlife Federation: $477,138; Steven McCormick, CEO, The Nature Conservancy: $399,788; John Flicker, President, National Audubon Society: $362,237; Peter Seligmann, CEO, Conservation International: $336,3353; Russell Mittermeier, Conservation International: $331,515; Kathyrn Fuller, President, WWF: $310,781. Even underlings do well, i.e., "The National Conservancy paid 1,025 salaries above $50,000, with nine above $200,000 and nine more over $150,000."

See also: $420,000 a Year and No-Strings Fund. Nature Conservancy underreported President's pay and perks of office. By Joe Stephens and David B. Ottaway. Washington Post, 4 May 2003. Stephen McCormick's compensation package is similar to that of a star athlete: $275,000 salary, $75,000 signing bonus, $75,000 annual living allowance, a $1.55 million home mortgage at 4.59% on an extravagant $1.7 million trophy house [now worth more than $3 million, e.g. MLS# FX6022469] on a one-acre lot in "The Reserve", a gated development of 175 estates built on 258 "prime wooded acres" (formerly, that is) in McLean, Virginia, and a "President's Discretionary Fund" that swelled to $23 million by 2002. "Every element at The Reserve is designed to enhance the lifestyle of those who choose to live life on a larger scale, and who will find the fulfillment of their dream only at the best address in McLean." [The Reserve sales brochure]. If the Nature Conservancy benefits package is typical of Big Green, some of the salaries reported below probably would be only a fraction of the executive's total compensation. More from the Post's exposé: Conservancy Scientists Question Their Role. By Joe Stephens and David B. Ottaway. 3 May 2003. Washington Post Online Extra. Their role? Just Say "Yes": "'He grabbed me roughly by the arms and threw me around the room,' Freilich [TNC's Colorado science director] recalled. The supervisor, Dave Neary, then allegedly ordered: 'You're going to sign right this minute or you're out.'" [If you conform the numerous broken article links on the Post's website to their new format, the links will work.] Audubon President also received a secret subsidy to live in the style in which he hoped to become accustomed: Take Back Audubon, a website written by disgruntled members of the National Audubon Society, discovered an illegal, below-market, $450,000 loan to Audubon President John Flicker to finance a luxury apartment on East 63rd Street in New York City. NAS laundered the insider loan through a subsidiary corporation and filed a false 1997 Form 990 with the IRS, which they amended in 2003 when Flicker paid the money back (after an enormous, unrealized capital gain). In stark contrast to the secrecy of the large environmental groups about their insiders' lucrative special deals, Enron disclosed Andrew Fastow's partnerships in its financial reports -- but most investors didn't bother to read them. An equivalent to Sarbanes-Oxley for not-for-profit, membership corporations is sorely needed.

From ANIMAL PEOPLE, November 2001:

(Updated through 12/6/2001.)

Individual Compensation

(Chief executives &/or 10 top-paid staff & consultants.) The Pay column below combines salaries, benefit plan contributions (if any), and expense accounts for the few individuals who are not required to itemize expenses. Individual independent contractors such as attorneys, accountants, and consultants are listed as well as directors and regular staff.

The IRS does not require disclosure of non-board compensation under $50,000. British charities must disclose the approximate amount of their highest salaries, but not who receives them. Salary norms identified as GdStr come from www.GuideStar.org, whose survey of 75,000 U.S. charities found huge gender gaps in pay scale. Salary norms identified as SAWA come from the Society of Animal Welfare Administrators annual survey of Salary and Personnel Practices. Since SAWA does not share the findings, we obtain leaked and therefore possibly incomplete data. Norms identified as AVMA are from Veterinary Market Statistics, produced by the American Veterinary Medical Association. Norms identified as NAVTA are from the North American Veterinary Technicians Association.

Volunteers are listed only if working in a senior leadership capacity full-time or nearly full-time.

COMPENSATION NOTES

A - Attorney Christopher A. Smith, 60, with no zoo background, succeeded William Conway as president of the Wildlife Conservation Society in September 1999, after Conway reached mandatory retirement at age 70. Smith left, however, in March 2000. His compensation and that of John McKew and Dennis Baker includes severance. Conway, whose compensation includes retirement benefits, still consults for WCS. James M. Large Jr. was named acting president.

B - Humane Society of the U.S. president Paul Irwin took $570,325 in salary, expenses, and retirement benefits in 1998, the last year before the IRS became able to fine nonprofit groups for paying excessive compensation. In Nov-ember 2001, Irwin won board approval to stay as president through 2004. The IRS is reportedly investigating an allegation by former HSUS legal/executive secretary Nancy Dayton that HSUS general counsel and vice president Roger A. Kindler and senior counsel Murdaugh Stuart Madden have long used HSUS staff and facilities for the benefit of their private law practice, including advertising the HSUS address, telephone, and fax number as those of their law firm. Dayton complained to the IRS five months after she told Irwin that HSUS had filed false reports to the IRS in 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999. Dayton was fired, she said, two weeks later. Neither Kindler nor Madden have responded to requests for comment.

C - Includes compensation from nine IFAW affiliates. Also in 2000, IFAW paid $251,335 to the law firm Rackemann, Sawyer & Brewster, in which IFAW board member and legal counsel Michael O'Connell is a partner. Instead of disclosing the top five salaries paid to non-board members on IRS Form 990, Schedule A, part I, IFAW wrote for the second straight year that, "During the current year, more than 86% of each key employee's compensation was reimbursed by the other [IFAW affiliate] organizations [for which work was done]." But the purpose of Schedule A, part I is not to explain who signs the checks. Rather, the section is meant to enable donors to decide if the pay is in keeping with the charitable mission. Standard practice is to disclose compensation exceeding $50,000 from all affiliates of a charity combined, footnoting to explain divisions of duties and pay sources.

D - John C. Sawhill, 63, president of The Nature Conservancy since 1990, died on 5/18/2000.

E - Peggy and Kenneth Cunniff are wife and husband. NAVS Form 990 filings in 1989-1994 identified Kenneth Cunniff as an independent contractor. ANIMAL PEOPLE pointed out in June 1996 that his pay from NAVS often exceeds $100,000/year plus use of a vehicle, while he runs his own law firm. Since then, NAVS lists him as "Kenneth Cunniff, Ltd."

F - Ken White in October 2001 left the Arizona Humane Society to head the Peninsula Humane Society, in San Mateo, Calif., at $188,000 a year (including car allowance), plus housing.

G - The Royal SPCA CEO is Peter Davies. In November 2001, RSPCA vice presidents William Jordan, founder of Care For The Wild., Angela Cope, and Dame Janet Fookes were removed from the RSPCA ruling council in favor of celebrities Geri Halliwell, Elton John, and Cliff Richard. Wrote Valerie Elliot, countryside editor for the London Times, "Some members believe the move was an attempt by RSPCA director-general Peter Davies to silence Jordan," an outspoken critic of the RSPCA policies on animal research and circuses.

H - William & Patricia Burnham are husband and wife.

I - Greenpeace Inc. and the Greenpeace Fund share staff and board. William Bryant and Michael Harold departed in August 2000.

J - Andrew Dickson heads WSPA worldwide.

K - Joseph Peligrino and Carolyn Sweetapple have left the North Shore Animal League.

L - Timothy O'Brien succeeded Robert F.X. Hart as Ameri-can Humane Association CEO in November 1999. Karen Goschen succeeded Gini Barrett as head of the AHA Hollywood office in March 2001. Adele Douglass now heads Farm Animal Services Inc., formed by the AHA to run its Free Farmed Certificate Program. Ann Sparks succeeded Douglass as AHA Washington D.C. office director.

M - Mark Goldstein left the SF/SPCA in January 2001 to become president of the San Diego Humane Society. Nathan Wino-grad left the SF/SPCA in November 2000; he is now executive director of the Tompkins County Humane Society in Ithaca, New York. Nadine Grenier has also left the SF/SPCA.

N - The CEO of Dogs Home Battersea is Duncan Green.

O - The CEO of the National Canine Defence League is Clarissa Baldwin.

P - FSAP development director Scott Anderson was formerly development director for PETA; FSAP, headed by Ingrid Newkirk of PETA and Neal Barnard, M.D., of PCRM, functions as a fundraising arm of PETA and PCRM. (See Budgets & Assets note #25.)

Q - Mark and Delia Owens are husband and wife.

R - Priscilla Feral and Robert Orabona are wife/husband.

S - Chris Jordan is son of William Jordan, founder of Care For The Wild. G.T. Craggs is husband of trustee V. Craggs.

T - FACT compensation plus compensation from Nest Eggs Inc., a for-profit FACT subsidiary.

U - Ronald Cohn and Francine Patterson are identified by other media as "partners."

V - Javier Burgos leases an office to SUPRESS d.b.a The Nature of Wellness, at $22,800 per year. SUPRESS vice president Hoorik Davoudian took no salary in 2000. Her firm, New Health Inc., was paid $68,000 for "Programs/ campaigns design implementation and management."

W - Esther Mechler founded Spay/USA in 1990. It became a Pet Savers Foundation program in 1993. Lynda Foro began Doing Things For Animals in 1993. Hired by Pet Savers in 1999, Foro continues DTFA, which is still independent, as part of her duties.

X - Will Travers, a Born Free Foundation staff member since it began, is son of founder Virginia McKenna. His promotion to CEO was probed in 2000 by the British Charities Commission, which found no wrongdoing, but suggested bylaw changes, which were made, to avoid any conflicts of interest.

Y - Wildlife Waystation also paid rent of $54,000 to founder Martine Colette, equal to her mortgage payments on the 90-acre sanctuary site, bought with her personal credit. The sanctuary is her sole heir.

Z - Alley Cat Allies co-founder Louise Holton resigned in October 2000.

AA - Bonnie & Brad Miller are wife and husband.

BB - Lisa Distefano, Valerie Shand, and Victoria Hart-man each served as Sea Shepherd executive director for a part of 2000.

CC - Pat Derby and Ed Stewart are partners. PAWS provides their housing and vehicles.

DD - Kim Bartlett and Merritt Clifton are wife/husband.

EE - Lorri & Gene Bauston are wife and husband. They also receive housing and transportation from Farm Sanctuary.

FF - Alex Hershaft rents an office to FARM in lieu of salary.

GG - Eric Mindel left LCA in midyear.

HH - Donna Hart and Stephen Best left the International Wildlife Coalition in midyear.

II - Mary Lynn Roberts has divorced Joe Parker, the chief public voice of Tiger Haven until August 2000, and is now married to Ken Roberts. This seems to have made little difference in the financial affairs of Tiger Haven. (See note 52, on page 16.) A longtime bingo operator whose games were repeatedly halted by law enforcement, Joe Parker was accused of skimming $50,000 in 1986-1997 from bingo games held to benefit a nursery school and kindergarten. He turned prosecution witness against other defendants to receive a reduced sentence. Parker opened a bingo hall to benefit Tiger Haven in May 1994. It closed in 1996. Tiger Haven says Parker no longer has any involvement with the sanctuary.

JJ - WBR founders Gene and Diana Chontos have separated.

KK - PIGS "currently leases a farm from its directors and paid rent of $13,500 for the year," explains IRS Form 990. Founders Jim Brewer and Dale Riffle used their personal credit to buy the farm, where they live as caretakers, for the exclusive use of PIGS. Brewer in 2000 also gave PIGS $5,000 in cash.

LL - Turpentine Creek cofounder Tanya Alexenia Syrenia Smith, a.k.a. Tanya Gonzelez Smith in 1998 settled charges filed as felonious theft of public benefits by pleading guilty to illegal use of food stamps. Smith allegedly declared in seeking food stamps and Medicaid that she and her son had no income except the son's Social Security payments, and had no other resources. Turpentine Creek had paid Smith $5,000 per month rent since April 1994; paid her $20,000 plus 5% interest, 1992-1994; and paid her $34,122 from January 1995 to the date the case was filed. Smith also leased two vehicles to the foundation until July 1, 1997. The current Turpentine Creek IRS Form 990 omits statements which on earlier filings declared that Smith leased land to the foundation "at the same cost as her mortgage payment," receiving both housing plus equity in the 450-acre site, relatively little of which is used for the care of sanctuary animals. Turpentine Creek is still paying $5,000 per month ($60,000/year) in rent to someone.

Opposition

MM - Combined compensation from both the Wildlife Conservation Fund of America and the Wildlife Legislative Fund of America, which are affiliates.

NN - Steven Kopperud is paid for 10% of his time.
