Billings Ovulation Method Association USA

“Form 990-EZ Part III Line 28In 2020, we received approval from WOOMB-International (Organization Ovulation Method Billings) of Melbourne, Australia, for our every-three-year renewal as their official United States Affiliate. Our renewal means that we are the only organization in the USA that can offer Teacher Training in the Billings Ovulation Method.We developed an online learning platform specifically designed for health professionals and those interested in learning to teach the Billings Ovulation Method. The platform utilizes recorded presentations, online assessments, reference materials, and assignments that we created. Production and editing resulted in over 10 hours of self-paced learning material and about 24 hours of reading material. Significant effort has gone into awareness and promotion of the curriculum. This sites construction and development were especially timely given the difficulties of doing live courses during the pandemic. In addition to the online platform, we offered two remote health professionals series. The first took place each Sunday evening in March and, the other happened on Thursday evenings in October. We were approved to give continuing education credits to physicians, advanced practice health professionals, and nurses. We have found our outreach to healthcare personnel invaluable in helping them understand the scientific, diagnostic and practical value of the Billings Ovulation Method related to their patients. Form 990-EZ Part III Line 28 ContinuedOur board continued to meet monthly via Zoom all year and opted to forgo our annual in-person meeting for a two-day virtual meeting in October, again by Zoom. Our Education Committees for both English and Spanish trainings continued to be very active with monthly meetings. They worked hard to ensure that our remote trainings, due to COVID, are as effective as our in-person training. The remote trainings are proving to be popular due to the convenience and cost savings. We continued to offer webinars in English and Spanish to update our teachers and offer engaging presentations to our membership. This year, Catholic Couples NFP (Natural Family Planning) asked us to help them provide free Billings Ovulation Method instruction to Catholic married couples. They used Facebook and Google ads to get the word out. The advertising was so successful that they had to put their campaigns on hold to catch up with the demand. It has been an exciting and fun collaboration, particularly for our new teachers who need couples to teach to complete their supervised practicum. Form 990-EZ Part III Line 28 - ContinuedOur Billings Fellowship Hours continued to be hosted monthly for members of BOMA-USA. Its a free offering that we provide through Zoom. By seeing each other face-to-face and encouraging free-flowing discussion on a specific topic, we are hearing from teachers that they feel more connected to us than ever. The Fellowship Hours are offered in English and Spanish.”
