• COMMUNICATIONS: IN 2023, ANCOR'S COMMUNICATIONS EFFORTS GREW THE ASSOCIATION IN TERMS OF SIZE AND STATURE, INCLUDING REACHING 2,100 ORGANIZATIONS THAT CALL THEMSELVES MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATION. THE COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAM IS VITAL TO ENHANCING ANCOR'S VISIBILITY AND CREDIBILITY IN TRADITIONAL AND DIGITAL MEDIA, AND TO RAISING THE PROFILE OF KEY ISSUES FACING ANCOR MEMBERS, MOST NOTABLY THE DIRECT SUPPORT WORKFORCE CRISIS. THE COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHED THESE OBJECTIVES THROUGH DIGITAL MARKETING ON ANCOR'S WEBSITES AND SOCIAL MEDIA SITES, THROUGH EMAIL MARKETING, AND THROUGH A NUMBER OF MEMBER ENGAGEMENT VEHICLES, SUCH AS THE ANCOR CONNECTED COMMUNITY.

THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE SHOWCASED BEST PRACTICES, PRODUCT INNOVATIONS AND MORE. THE 2023 POLICY SUMMIT & HILL DAY, HOSTED STEPS FROM CAPITOL HILL, ALSO REACHED SOLD-OUT STATUS. ABOUT 250 DISABILITY SERVICES PROFESSIONALS SPENT A DAY LEARNING ABOUT KEY FEDERAL POLICY DEVELOPMENTS BEFORE TAKING THEIR MESSAGE TO CAPITOL HILL FOR MORE THAN 200 ADVOCACY VISITS WITH MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND THEIR STAFF.

As filed on the 2023 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.
