Thanks for taking time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoy your colleagues and the flexibility in how we work – those are important parts of our culture. We also appreciate your comments about leadership turnover and compensation. Changes in leadership can create uncertainty, while at the same time, often reflect the caliber of talent and successful development of our team. We’re very proud that two organizational leaders recently became CEOs of other highly respected nonprofits. Clear communication and transition support are important to us, and we’ll also continue to focus on developing and attracting strong leaders and providing an environment where employees feel informed, valued, and connected to our mission. On compensation, we know pay is an important part of your experience. We work to offer a competitive total rewards package within the nonprofit sector, which also includes comprehensive benefits, professional development, and the flexibility you pointed out. We continually review our compensation and benefits programs to ensure they remain thoughtful and responsive to our employees’ needs. We appreciate your thoughts and wish you continued success at the ADA.
