Programs
The vica business forecast conference is a unique opportunity for the valley's business community to influence the legislative process in order to promote vica's mission of advocating for a better business climate and quality of life. It is also an opportunity for vica members and other business leaders to learn about public policy issues that directly impact the business climate. The conference also serves as the place for an economic forecast at the national, state and local levels. The conference attendees look at trend projections to see where the valley can expect the economy to be in the next year. The conference focuses on issues such as workforce education, mobility, climate change, land use, lobbying and the way upcoming elections would impact the business climate.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $523k to $263k (−50%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 1% · 2021 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund VALLEY INDUSTRY & COMMERCE ASSOCIATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2019 100% · 2021 100% — broadly stable.
