Mission and programs · 2024

• THE ASSOCIATION REPRESENTS THE COLLECTIVE INTERESTS OF ITS MEMBERS BY PROMOTING, INFORMING, SUPPORTING AND CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVING THE SMALL BUSINESS CENTERS NETWORK, WHICH DELIVERS NATIONWIDE EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE TO STRENGTHEN SMALL/MEDIUM BUSINESS MANAGEMENT, THEREBY CONTRIBUTING TO THE GROWTH OF LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL ECONOMIES. THE ASSOCIATION CONDUCTS CONFERENCES AND MEETINGS TO PROVIDE A MEDIUM OF COMMUNICATION AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION AMONG THE MEMBERS. THE ASSOCIATION ALSO FACILITATES THE PURCHASE OF WORKSHOP MATERIALS OF VALUE TO THE MEMBERS' SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CENTERS COUNSELORS.

• SINCE 1994 THE SMALL BUSINESS ACT PROVIDES THAT THE U.S. SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (SBA) CONTRACT WITH THE ASSOCIATION TO PROVIDE FOR AN ACCREDITATION PROCESS FOR THE SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CENTER PROGRAM. THE SBA IS REQUIRED TO CONSIDER THE RESULTS OF THE ACCREDITATION PROCESS WHEN EVALUATING THE PERFORMANCE OF A SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CENTER (SBDC) FOR PURPOSES OF EXTENDING OR RENEWING ITS COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT. THE ASSOCIATION PERFORMS AN ACCREDITATION ON EACH SBDC GRANTEE ONCE EVERY FOUR YEARS. THE ASSOCIATION PROVIDES WRITTEN REPORTS OF THE RESULTS OF EACH ACCREDITATION TO THE SBA FOR ITS USE. THE ACCREDITATION PROCESS USED IS BASED ON ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES AND EDUCATION AND TRAINING AND IS TO BE PROVIDED TO THE ASSOCIATION'S MEMBERS ON A REGULAR BASIS.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
