IRS990/Desc0Membership Development and Member Participation: ACC has added the small program, a tool to support small business owners, while maintaining the green C certification program. Both programs have played an important role in supporting the growth of the expanding corporate membership. Our membership fee has remained at an affordable level allowing the council to sustain steady membership growth while strengthening collaboration with more than 60 state consumer councils nationwide. By keeping costs accessible, a broader and more diverse audience has been able to participate in ACC's wide range of programs, including consumer education initiatives, informational resources, and advocacy efforts. This approach has helped expand engagement, increase program reach, and reinforce the Council's role as a trusted resource for consumers and partners organizations alike. Our IT department consistently maintains and updates software systems, monitoring potential risks, and implementing safeguards designed to protect sensitive membership information. These ongoing security measures help preserve member trust, support compliance with best practices, and ensure that personal data remains secure while allowing members to confidently engage with ACC programs and services.
