What it reported doing in 2024
Training and development conferences - the conference program supports both online and in-person events where judges can connect, learn, and grow. Through educational seminars, interactive workshops, and structured networking, participants deepen their rules knowledge, leadership skills, and event expertise. These gatherings strengthen community ties while promoting ongoing professional development.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Membership-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
- 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and liabilities are high compared with assets.
