<prompt> Human: So, Ive been with my current job for 3 years now. Im now the director of a nationwide nonprofit organization, and I oversee my countys only location. Being a nonprofit, we rely on grants and donations to be able to fund our mission as well as pay for staff; professional staff being only myself and my executive director. I currently make 12.00 an hour, working right around 40 hours a week, usually a couple hours more sometimes. As my executive is proposing to salary my position to the board, Im a little hesitant as to wether I should accept or decline. Let me break it down for you. At 12.00 an hour, 27 biweekly pay periods this year, my gross annual salary comes out to be around 26K with some overtime and unpaid holidays.What should I ask for as far as a salaried amount? I feel I couldnt accept anything less than 28K, however I know that my current position was earlier salaried at around 30-32K. Which of course I couldnt mention by pointing the finger and saying, well that last director was salaried this much! You get the gist.Ive been in my current position for a year now, and Im the least expendable person as I work 40 hours with all other staff working part-time. I do all of our data entry, oversee all daily operations, and basically make every day were open possible. Sorry for sounding so boastful, but its true. What would the best course of action be for me? Should I update my resumé and present it to the board, as I feel I am worth more than they may be willing to pay and I have been able to get several certifications in my field recently?  <response>: Ask for what you are worth especially if others in your position got more and if they dont work with you at all find another job. Its soul crushing to feel unappreciated in the long term.
