Yes but one would also think that there wouldn't be much trouble finding someone equally as competent who would do the job for $150,000. In fact perhaps such a person would be better by nature since it is after all a charitable organization which is supposed to help people and not a for-profit corporation bent on sucking as much money out of people as possible. OTOH what do I know? Perhaps she privately donates $300,000 of her salary back to the organization in secret.
