June 16, 2013NJEA Top Exec Retires
Vince Giordano, Executive Director of NJEA, is retiring after this year’s gubernatorial and legislative elections to spend more time with his family. From NJ Spotlight:
“It just does not seem possible to me that so much time has passed since I began my career at NJEA,” Giordano wrote in the email. “I have relished my time working at this amazing organization. For me, working at NJEA has always been a labor of love – I have enjoyed working with the best staff in the nation and, I have cherished my engagement with the wonderful leaders and members with whom I have come in contact over the years.”
No doubt it’s been a labor of love, but it’s also been a labor well-compensated. Giordano made a base salary of $325,000 per year in 2011. That’s two and a half times more than NJ Education Commissioner Chris Cerf and far more than the most hard-working NJ superintendent.
