Comic-Con, San Diego

[Ponine]

And might I add.... stolen tidbits from other articles....
volunteer.... why? when you want to know who runs this show, it is volunteers.......

In recent years, though, when the IRS has looked at a charity, it has been most concerned about a handful of other issues, including excessive compensation for executives, he said.

That does not appear to be a problem for Comic-Con. It has two full-time executives, each paid less than $70,000 annually, according to the 2004-05 tax return. There are also 13 part-time board officers and directors. Six of the officers receive compensation ranging from $4,320 per year to $18,000.

Add in maybe a dozen paid year round clerical staff, thats it folks.
