Overview

Mission

Provide and support continuing education for medical assistants, and encourage certification through the continuing education process.

What it reported doing in 2024

Normally this provides 3 days-worth of continuing education speakers for over 125 medical assistant attendees, who in turn go back to their medical offices and share information. (note: wssma operates on a cash basis. Normally our annual meeting is held the 3rd week of may each year, rotating around the state to give medical assistants in all areas the chance to attend. Depending on the particular facility where it is held, the amount of expense paid for this event can occur late in april, or through the date of the conference in may, which is after the close of our fiscal year). Wssma did not host its own conference in 2024, but planned a conference for 2025, so a deposit to hold the hotel space was included in the figure on last year's report. Most of the registration fees and donations to hold the 2025 conference were collected by the end of april, and most of the expenses were paid before the end ofthis fiscal year as well, although the conference was held in may 2025.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 90% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and assets have declined or grown slowly.
