CEO Paid $1.6M Amid Scrutiny | Los Angeles News

A Southern California domestic violence shelter’s CEO is facing intense scrutiny after earning over $1.6 million in two years — including nearly $900K in 2023 from accrued vacation pay — far exceeding peers at similar nonprofits. Despite leading the organization since 1984 and living in Hawaii, her compensation package, approved by the board, raises alarms among watchdogs and experts, especially given that 94% of the nonprofit’s funding comes from taxpayer dollars. Critics question financial stewardship and board oversight, noting unusual practices like a board member receiving a salary and lack of vacation accrual caps common in the sector.
