Mission
The mission of the International Rescue and Emergency Care Association is to provide educational programs to share and evaluate recognized knowledge, standards and abilities for emergency responders world wide.

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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
