I thought this discussion hosted by Chronicle of Philanthropy would be of interest to some readers.

Online Discussion Next Week: Nonprofit Pay

Live online discussion Tuesday, October 6, at noon U.S. Eastern time on executive compensation trends in the nonprofit world during these difficult economic times.

The guests will be:

• Ken Berger, executive director of Charity Navigator, a watchdog group in Mahwah, N.J.

• David Samuels, a partner at Duval & Stachenfeld LLP, a law firm in New York.

The Chronicle’s online discussions are free and open to everyone. People who ask questions in advance have a better chance of getting answers.

How the Live Discussion Works

There’s nothing to do during a Live Event other than read, watch and occasionally send in a comment or vote in the polling questions.

It’s not a chatroom. You go to largely find out what the writer has to say. An open chat with thirty or more readers turns into poor, disjointed content very quickly.

Your comments are published at the Writer’s discretion. The Writer can view all comments sent to them but only they can publish your comments for everyone to see.

Our ‘autoscroll’ feature ensures you’re always shown the newest content without having to refresh or scroll your screen. You can turn this on or off by using the controls at the bottom of the Viewer Window.

Subtle sound effects alert you to new content as the writer publishes it. This can also be turned on or off as needed.
