    I know this is a sensitive subject, but do any of you know the salary range for Directors of Volunteer Services? I'm guessing that the number varies wildly. This would be for a small hospital less than 100 beds. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    According to Salary.com, the median in the United States is $63,531 and the median in your zip code is $51,304.

    In Susan Ellis's Hot Topic's blog from March 1999, she states: "Which is why, in my opinion, the only valid criterion for determining the appropriate pay for a director of volunteers is whether his or her salary is equivalent to the salary of other similar-level managers in that specific agency. So the real question is not one of dollars. It's at what level of administration is this position valued? If the director of development earns twice what the director of volunteers is paid, or if volunteer leadership is paid on a par with clerical staff, there’s a clear message sent. But if the
    director of volunteers receives a salary on the level of other managers, department heads, or other essential staff, then the amount is right--whatever that amount is, for everyone."
