Acclaim for Human Services Compensation in the United States

For many Alliance member CEOs, the Alliance’s annual human services compensation study of about 300 organizations is an extremely valuable management tool that provides data for comparison purposes and assists member boards in their compensation planning.

“Cutting edge and well-packaged,” is how Ray D’Orsi, human resource program manager at Family Service Association of Greater Fall River describes the report. “No human service human resource manager or CEO should be without it.”

Marilyn Henry, executive director, Personal and Family Counseling Service, New Philadelphia, OH, agrees and says she and her staff use the report to review where their agency’s compensation and benefits stands in relationship to other agencies in the region. This, she says, helps the agency ensure that its compensation and benefits remain competitive. “I see it as one of the most useful benefits of membership in the Alliance.”

Cindy Herdman-Ivins, executive director, Family Service Association of New Jersey in Ewing, has used the report in communication she has with a panel in New Jersey overseeing the overhaul of the state’s child welfare system. On behalf of the members of her association, Herdman-Ivins is leading the charge for more funding for community providers. She has also used the information to advocate for increased funding with the New Jersey governor’s office and the legislature. Like Henry, she also uses the information to better form her own compensation scales and as a comparison point for members of the association she heads.

Both Gene Meeks and Tom Vinca have found that the report’s information assists their boards in reviewing their compensation and benefits. Meeks, president and CEO, Child and Family Services, Buffalo, NY, says the report is “an excellent tool and benchmark. It clearly addresses the issues of reasonableness and comparability when it comes to executive compensation.” Vinca, CEO of Family Services of Northwestern Pennsylvania, in Erie says that he too shares the report with his board and that while “it doesn’t always convince them I’m underpaid,” the report’s value is clear: “If we did not have it [the report], it would be a great loss.”
