Women CEOs still outnumber men in nonprofit industry
Marketwatch: There are still relatively few women who are CEOs of companies in almost all industries — with one major exception. Women CEOs are leading the way in the nonprofit world and, in some areas, they outnumber male CEOs. That’s according to a new study from GuideStar, a research firm that focuses on nonprofits. Women in 2015 made up 57 percent of the CEOs of nonprofits with an annual budget of less than $250,000, up from 53 percent in 2005. Another area where things haven’t changed: Female CEOs are paid less than male CEOs of nonprofits. The median compensation for these women CEOs in 2015 was 7 percent less than men’s for nonprofits with budgets of $250,000 or less. And women who are nonprofit CEOs at organizations with budgets greater than $50 million were paid 21 percent less than their male counterparts in 2015.
