On one project, she could’ve been compensated $1 million. Corbett Waller makes an annual salary of $300,000.During the meeting set for 10 a.m., the agenda calls for the board to discuss CEO performance and “CEO continued employment.”“JHA has a strong and professional board that is empowered to oversee agency leadership and make decisions that are in the best interest of tenants and taxpayers.
