Overview

Mission

To be the premier provider of information and resources to assist schools, colleges and universities in the employment of educators for staffing excellence in education.

What it reported doing in 2024

Provide opportunities for training, networking and exchanging information. Promote dialogue and cooperation to facilitate recruitment, employment and retention of excellent educators.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
