In these tough economic times, has the MSPCA-Angell researched salary levels and cutbacks before considering closing adoption centers?
As the economy began to decline the MSPCA first looked at compensation cutbacks which continue to be made today. The office of the President has had a salary reduction of nearly $90,000 and a self-imposed salary freeze for the past three years. In addition the MSPCA reduced the size of its senior management team from seven officers to five officers with the team’s self-imposed salary freezes now in their second year. These financial moves have saved the organization hundreds of thousands of dollars while still allocating 88 cents from every dollar to the direct hands on care of animals.
