TLG Managing Partner Jeff Tenenbaum Quoted in CEO Update Article, “Use experienced nonprofit counsel in CEO contract talks”

TLG Managing Partner Jeff Tenenbaum was quoted in the August 15, 2025 issue of CEO Update in an article entitled, “Use experienced nonprofit counsel in CEO contract talks”: Jeff Tenenbaum, founder and managing partner at Tenenbaum Law Group, said he uses his long association experience to guide CEOs through negotiations. “Sometimes I will tell an exec, ‘No, I really don’t think we should ask for that, we’re going to lose credibility,’” he said. In one case, a client who was on good terms with the association was negotiating a contract renewal. The client wanted to request a catch-up bonus. “I said, ‘I think that’s too much, it’s going to probably put some of the board members off,’” Tenenbaum said. “Just having a good sense as to how the volunteer leaders are going to react to things is important.” “In a lot of associations, the CEO gets paid a lot more than the board members make in their day jobs. Those are the toughest negotiations,” he said.
