It's nice to know that...

Of non-profit CEOS the slot as the 6th highest salary recipient in 2008 went to
Peter C. Marzio, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston Compensation: $1,054,939

MFAH boasts of being “the largest art museum in America south of Chicago, west of Washington, D.C., and east of Los Angeles.” AND  it is a bastion of art in the southern U.S. with more than 2.5 million visits a year, with outreach and education activities reaching more than 670,000 by the museum’s reckoning. And it does it very well, as Better Half and I can attest .. we do enjoy our mmebership!
Director Peter C. Marzio is the first million-dollar earner on the list, as the 8.27% increase in compensation from 2007 to 2008 bumped him up to the next level. Director since 1982, Marzio has clearly been rewarded for his longtime service. It may be hard to put a price on art, but not on the director of an art museum.
