Overview

Mission

The organization holds classes conducted by certified compensation experts and employment attorneys to provide members with new job related expertise. Meetings are held to allow members to exchange ideas within the local area about compensation/benefit issues and trends.

What it reported doing in 2020

Education and training for compensation and benefits administrators.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
