ANA national headquarter officers' salaries

[FireStarterRN, BSN, RN]

I posted in another section about the sad death of Mary Doolittle in the Washington DC metro crash. She was employed by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) to 'support the world's nurses' (not sure exactly what that means). For more about her, read the two links below.

In trying to find out more about her and exactly what her job entailed, I stumbled across an interesting link that gives the salaries of the American Nursing Association (ANA) officers in the national headquarters. Mary Doolittle also was an officer for the ANA and collected a salary of $66,000 from them.

Click this link for an interesting chart with all the salaries. Looks like a career in the ANA can prove quite rewarding!

Wow. Salary determination for this type of association is surprising but perhaps it points to their profitability and long term stability?

I thought a >$450,000 salary for the CEO quite generous. I'm sure the ANA, and other unions such as it, have quite stable financial bases. I assume much of their financial solvency comes from the union dues of its membership, which is oftentimes an involuntary contribution if they are able to achieve a closed shop status for the union contracts they negotiate.
