What Western States Director Education Foundation does
Mission
The Western States Director Education Foundation is a non-profit entity dedicated to helping community banks continue to thrive through an annual symposium that serves to educate and promote awareness of timely industry issues for community bank board directors and senior executives in the rocky mountain, southwestern and midwestern regions of the country. The board volunteers their time and are dedicated to providing a valuable and exceptional program every autumn. In addition, a percentage of the symposium's proceeds are reinvested in the industry through financial contributions to bank associations and other educational institutions to support their educational efforts.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

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. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $229k to $171k (−25%).
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.
0% of WESTERN STATES DIRECTOR EDUCATION FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (57% for the typical peer).
