On the salary side, they only list six salaries in their filing, of which only 1 is a veteran and still working for IAVA, Paul.<\/p>\n
Paul Rieckhoff:<\/strong> ($120,000) As far as salaries go, this isn\u2019t as high as one might expect. Don\u2019t get me wrong, he won\u2019t starve to death, but for a CEO this is certainly reasonable, and probably on the low side. In fact, I expect when the 2010 form 990 is filed, this will be closer to $175k.<\/p>\nPaayal Mahajan:<\/strong> ($115,493) NOT A VETERAN.<\/strong>
\nAccording to IAVA:
\nPaayal Mahajan, Director of Human Capital. Prior to joining IAVA, Paayal managed diversity initiatives for the United States Tennis Association and multicultural membership for the Girl Scouts of the USA. She also has an extensive background in radio and broadcast media. She graduated from Rutgers University with a BS in Environmental Policy, Institutions and Behavior. After setting up and running IAVA\u2019s Membership Department for the last two years, Paayal is now running IAVA\u2019s Human Capital department.
\nIAVA\u2019s second highest paid employee is a diversity guru whose job it is to sell free memberships.
\nPatrick Campbell<\/strong> ($79,104) Apparently not with IAVA anymore, but he was (I think) their Legislative Director. Other than Paul, he was the only other one in their top six salaries that was a veteran.<\/em><\/p>\nDevon Collins:<\/strong> (78,750) NOT A VETERAN<\/strong>.
\nAccording to IAVA:
\nDevon Collins, Director of Operations. Devon has been with IAVA since 2005, serving as IAVA\u2019s Director of Operations for over three years. Devon is responsible for growing the organization through development initiatives and in-house management of IAVA. She graduated Rollins College with a degree in Sociology.<\/em>
\nPer her LinkedIn profile, this is her one and only job since graduating.<\/p>\nDaniel Atwood:<\/strong> ($75,883) NOT A VETERAN<\/strong>
\nAccording to IAVA:
\nDaniel Atwood, Director of Digital Engagement. As Director of Digital Engagement, Daniel is responsible for expanding IAVA\u2019s online visibility to reach both veterans and civilian supporters using new media platforms. Prior to joining IAVA, Daniel worked as a legal assistant at a New York law firm and has held positions as a computer specialist and academic mentor. Daniel graduated from Trinity College with a BS in Computer Science.
\nHere\u2019s his LinkedIn profile, but you just read the majority above.<\/em><\/p>\nChristine Stevens: <\/strong>($69,583) NOT A VETERAN<\/strong>
\nAccording to IAVA:
\nChrissy Stevens, Communications Director. Chrissy is responsible for increasing media outreach and executing the message of IAVA. Before joining IAVA, Chrissy spent two years working for Governor Eliot Spitzer, with one year on Spitzer\u2019s 2006 Gubernatorial Campaign and the second as the Deputy Chief of Staff to the First Lady in the Governor\u2019s Executive Chamber. Chrissy graduated from UC Berkeley with a BA in Legal Studies and a minor in Public Policy.<\/em><\/p>\nSo, there you have the top six, which is all they list. They have one veteran, one that quit, and 4 that are non-veterans with backgrounds like working for Elliot Spitzer, just graduating college, a legal assistant and another in charge of diversity for US Tennis. Jobs that couldn\u2019t possibly be filled by bona fide trigger-pullers who are too stupid and inexperienced to handle such things.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a lot more in there, but this should get you guys started.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
