This information has been obtained from the 990 forms that non-profit organizations are required to submit each year to the IRS. I accessed these reports on Guidestar.com on 3/23/2018. I am not an accountant or financial expert of any kind.
The main numbers that I find most interesting are the income from recertification, and approved provider programs:
2016
Program Service Income : $2,015,353
Recertification: $1,001,010
Examination: $281,785
Approved provider program: $226,695
2017
Program Services: $1,509,490
Recertification: $112,145
Examination: $52,620
Approved Provider Program: $61,010
Also, the CEO Steve Kirin, was compensated $154,389 in 2016 and O – (Zero) according to the report.
Laura Allen previously reported on this organization in 2014 on her blog.
During 2007, the revenue of the NCB was at an all-time high of $8,655,003. During 2012, the revenue was down to $4,616,227, a decline of over 4 million dollars in the past five years. If that isn’t the handwriting on the wall that it is past time for the NCBTMB to get out of the entry-level licensing exam business, I don’t know what is. AMTA, AFMTE, and ABMP have all supported the MBLEx as the licensing exam of choice. They just refuse to give it up.
How Long do you think they have?
Then… look at the note I found:
Part VI, Section A, Line 4: The Bylaws were amended in the following ways – An article appointing the American Massage Therapy Association as the sole member- The amended bylaws allow for the secretary to be the only officer – The term of office for Board members was shortened from four years to two.
What does that mean exactly? Who really knows. I do know that the back in 2016, the AMTA announced it would be supporting the NCBTMB financially.
