MEMBER ORGANIZATION SALARY SURVEY
At Move United we strive to help provide meaningful resources and benefits to our member organizations. We have heard your requests for a member wide Salary Survey and are excited to launch the first of many.

The information and data collected will be utilized to help determine the industry salary rates among our member organizations. This information will be shared with Move United Member Organizations through mean and median rates of pay utilizing a range of measures. Please answer these questions based on your most recent completed fiscal year. The survey will take about 20 minutes to complete. Please complete by September 30th.
