What are the general rules and/or guidelines for salaries paid to executive directors of a nonprofit organization? I am considering starting and operating a nonprofit as my next career but would need to better understand what my salary could be in such a role, assuming there are ample retained earnings (from fundraising and revenues) after overhead, growth capital expenditures, and other employees' salaries.

I would suggest that you contact Bridgestar. Bridgestar offers advisory and executive recruiting services to help talented nonprofit leaders build their careers and their executive teams. The consultants there should be able to advise you on your compensation questions.
