Brock Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 So Mr Wyman wasn't paid for all his hard work then? Ric Wyman was Executive Director, an employee, so he was paid. The President and his/her board is a different matter. It's like a city that has a paid Chief Administrative Officer, while the Mayor and Councillors are voluntary.
