Introduction A group of 21 states including the Florida Society of Association Executives conducted compensation and benefit surveys among their executive members with Whorton Marketing & Research providing project support. Association Societies Alliance member associations had WM&R conduct a survey among 3,808 senior association executives with deliverable email addresses during the period of Feb 12 through Mar 10. (Some associations had floating starts and were included as they came online and provided contact data.) A total of 1,024 individuals responded with a sufficient degree of completion to be included in the final survey results, for an overall participation rate of 29%. To complement current results, at our client contacts’ request we added records from associations in the participating states that responded in 2012 but not in 2013, resulting in a total database of 1,489 respondents. States represented this year include: Northeast: Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania. South: Virginia, North & South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and Oklahoma. Midwest: Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin. West: California and Washington. In Florida, 450 FSAE member and non-member chief staff executives with deliverable email addresses were contacted with an emailed invitation and two reminders to non-respondents to maximize participation. A total of 88 individuals responded to a sufficient degree of completion to be included in the final survey results, for a response rate of 20%. Definition: Statistical Terms Each report presents detailed compensation data using the following statistical measures: Mean: Numeric average that is traditionally what we think of when the generic term "average" is used. Median: Midpoint, above which half of all responses lie and below which half of all responses lie. This figure often provides a more reliable measure of the "typical" response as it is not inordinately influenced by a few high-dollar responses that were reported by participating associations. Quartiles (Q1 & Q3): The median sometimes is reported as the 50th percentile. Quartiles are merely the 25th and 75th percentiles, or the points below which one-fourth of all responses lie, and the point above which onefourth of responses lie. This gives us an easy way to summarize the distribution of responses without reporting the minimum and maximum figures, which may represent truly extraordinary cases. All compensation data is reported as an annualized salary. The survey instrument asked respondents to note the FTE (full-time equivalents) represented by each position. We used this data to convert actual salaries that were reported for part-time workers, or incumbents who were split across several positions and/or did the same job for multiple clients within their association management company to ensure a true "apples to apples"comparison for salary levels.
