Overview

Mission

Provide education to workers comp attorneys

What it reported doing in 2025

Seminars - the association holds seminars for the members to update them on new developments, medical information, and provide current information related to case law to assist them in their workers' compensation practice. Due to the covid-19 pandemic, the association did not hold a seminar during 2020. It continued to provide information to its membership throughout the year through other options, such as mail and email.

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 - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
