Development Directors' Salaries

A question frequently asked by leaders of community arts education organizations is, “How much are other community schools of the arts paying their administrators?”

The report also contains salary data for executive (school) directors, assistant/associate directors, program directors, and finance directors/business managers, as well as hourly pay rates for faculty.
