Overview

Mission

Education and professional growth for members

What it reported doing in 2024

During 2024/2025 the California workforce connection (cwc) had two statewide events, education institute and state convention. There were four board meetings and several committee meetings held during 2024/2025. The four districts within cwc held education institutes for the respective districts in addition to the activities held by the chapters throughout the state.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 87% 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.
