Overview

Mission

Dedicated to the improvement of education in Oregon's schools through the effective use of media and technology resources. Oema serves the interests of school library media specialists and technology specialists who work with students is preschool through higher education, and others interested in school library media programs

What it reported doing in 2011

Oema organized and held several confernces during the year. These conferences help to facilitate the professional growth of members in the area of school library media programs. National delegates are also appointed and funded to represent the organization at national meetings and conferences across the country. Standing committees and board meetings assimilate media information for distribution to members of the association.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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

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