Overview

Mission

Contractor's trade association - promote and advance the construction industry in the upper Ohio valley.

What it reported doing in 2024

Promotion and advancement of the construction industry.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 90% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
