According to National Journal’s annual study of association heads, more than 50 have compensation packages of over $1.2 million. Here are some top earners from 2006, the last year for which tax data are available.
Best-Paid Association Executive C. Manly Molpus, Grocery Manufacturers Association: $4,690,155 Best-Paid Think-Tank Executive Richard Cavanagh, Conference Board: $1,407,126 Best-Paid Labor-Union Head Eugene Upshaw, NFL Players’ Association: $3,318,993 Best-Paid Public-Interest-Group Executive Bill Novelli, AARP: $2,042,159
