CCMMJ:

Although I'm happy to be corrected, I stand by what I said. The Red Cross's board is indeed volunteers, except for the head, who draws a salary. Being on the Board of Governors is accounted a high honor, although they draw no pay. PETA's highest paid board member is their attorney, who makes a bit over 70k. Ingrid Newkirk, founder and director of PETA, makes $37000 and lives in a one-bedroom apartment. UNICEF board member salaries are in the low six figures. The new information you posted (a picture of PETA's headquarters, a statement showing UNICEF spends 11M on administrative costs, an edited BBB report) doesn't bear on anything I said. As far as I can tell, after a half hour's additional search, not a single board member of any of the charities you named makes seven figures, only one makes above half a million, and the rest are in the high five or low six-figure range.

I really don't mean to be rude or confrontational - it's just that I can in no way reconcile your statements regarding charity board member salaries with the truth. Last post on this subject for me since it has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Email me, if you like, at my nickname @gmail.com.
