I feel like there are a lot of misconceptions about 501 C3's and non profits. Just because its a non profit doesnt mean you cant take a huge salary from it but when the records come out to the public people wont want to donate to your organization if all of the donations are going to your salary. After looking at the tax returns for GPC no one on that board is accepting a salary and everything looks in order. I'm not sure what everyone is complaining about. you should see what the American Heart Association pays in salaries to people...outrageous amounts!

I think the concerns were expressed about benefits going to officers. Apparently officers were being reimbursed for travel expenses and housing. Several members felt there was not a lot of transparency. One guy says he was kicked off the board because he complained. I think we will shortly be hearing from our president who will address these issues. I have a concern in that our group does not have that much money and they may spend themselves out of existence. I am sure the Wiz will explain it all. I was on several boards and took trips at no expense to me for meetings. But, they had tons of money.
