Overview

Mission

Labor organization

What it reported doing in 2024

State convention - gathered the membership to inform and discuss matters of vital interest and to conduct association business and elect officers. State association membership as of June 30, 2025 was 242.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 69% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
