Introduction State societies of association executives in 26 states including Florida conducted compensation and benefit surveys among their executive members with Whorton Marketing & Research providing project support. Association Societies Alliance member associations asked WM&R conduct their bi-annual survey with their key contacts—4,533 senior association executives (including non-members in some states) with deliverable email addresses. WM&R administered the survey during the period of February 11 through March 10 with a series of personalized emails customized for each participating societies. A total of 1,075 individuals responded with a sufficient degree of completion to be included in the final survey results, for an overall participation rate of 29%. States represented this year include: Northeast: New York, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Vermont. South: Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Texas, and Oklahoma. Midwest: Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Minnesota, South Dakota, and North Dakota. West: California, Washington, and Colorado. In Florida, 427 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 93 individuals responded to a sufficient degree of completion to be included in the final survey results, for a response rate of 22%. 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 hourly or part-time workers and employees 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. The following report presents state-specific findings. For a comparison and analysis of broader nationwide trends, please refer to the April 25 full report, which complements these findings.
