Overview

Mission

To serve as the premier educational and research organization in the united states providing educational and research opportunities and programming committed to the improvement in knowledge, skill and expertise in the finishing construction industry in the united states.

What it reported doing in 2024

The international leadership council was held in las vegas in 2023 and is the only event in north america where union finishing contractors come together to network, share best practices and plan for the future. The purpose of the event is to educate, advocate and provide inspiration, information and networking opportunities for contractor's members and to help the overall union finishing industry.

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 most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
