The Hub is an online resource and mobile application that provides educators with access to our curricular resources, professional development opportunities and a like-minded community of educators. Throughout 2022, we continued to enhance the offerings on the Hub and grow the size of our educator community on the Hub. We grew from under 1K Hub educators to approximately 5K Hub educators by the end of the year with a significant portion of our growth being through educator-to-educator referrals. During 2022, 800+ Empowered teachers received in-person training through our RiseUp training events in Texas, Mississippi, South Dakota and Kansas, as well as through 25 teacher-organized and led training events. Educators also attended via the Hub our new virtual training and professional development offerings, Empowered Now and Empowered Energized. RiseUp events are the flagship of our in-person training and professional development program. These three-day programs are designed to assemble educators to share a unique professional development experience. Speakers, panels, sessions and leave-to-learns are designed to be hands-on and foster participation and exploration. In the spring of 2022, we published Issue #2 of Empowered Teacher magazine, distributing approximately 10K copies. Empowered Teacher magazine provides educators with resources for both inside and outside of the classroom and includes insights from trusted experts, information on our innovative instructional strategy, Principles + Markets = Mindsets, or "PMM", activities and other tools. Throughout 2022, we continued to see growth in our overall educator community and as of the end of 2022, our total educator community included over 20K educators, including Hub members, social media followers and magazine subscribers. 5787111 true true false false false false false false false true false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false true 33 0 true 40 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 5 4 true false false false true true true true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA FL GA AL HI IL KS KY MD MI MN MS OR PA RI TN UT VA AR WV WI X HENRICH HEUER 3168283938 4201 WILSON BLVD SUITE 800 ARLINGTON VA 22203 Dale Gibbens DIRECTOR/VICE CHAIRMAN 2.0 9.0 X X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Koch DIRECTOR/CHAIRWOMAN 3.0 7.0 X X 0 0 0 Amy Pelletier DIRECTOR 1.0 2.0 X 0 0 0 Meredith Olson DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 WW Hanna DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Brian Menkes SECRETARY 1.0 10.0 X 0 0 0 Henrich Heuer TREASURER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Kylie Stupka PRESIDENT 40.0 0.0 X 290486 0 33991 Tracey Andrist ASSISTANT TREASURER 40.0 0.0 X 213989 0 19110 Deborah Pierce CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER 40.0 0.0 X 114471 0 26513 Lindsay Schroeder CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER 40.0 0.0 X 172310 0 26963 791256 0 106577 4 false true false Crane Grey 4666A W US HWY 20 LA PORTE IN 46350 MARKETING SERVICES 314150 Productive Edge LLC 1 E WACKER DRIVE SUITE 3200 CHICAGO IL 60611 SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT 292162 EPIC Event Pros PO BOX 345 BRECKENRIDGE CO 80424 EVENT PLANNING 176903 Arkus Inc 10 TIMES SQUARE 6TH FLOOR NEW YORK NY 11109 SOFTWARE CONSULTING 120000 4 5012556 0 5012556 3763 3763 0 0 3763 64799 64799 0 64799 64799 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5081118 3763 0 64799 X 5000 5000 9000 9000 484306 363230 43587 77489 2155397 1616548 193986 344863 120626 90470 10856 19300 3829 2871 345 613 223827 167870 20144 35813 540 405 49 86 34133 34133 1009801 757351 90882 161568 509931 382448 45894 81589 845929 634447 76134 135348 51783 38837 4661 8285 336771 252578 30310 53883 54163 40622 4875 8666 1871402 1403552 168426 299424 MEMBERSHIPS & DUES 5535 4151 498 886 BAD DEBT 17731 17731 0 0 0 0 7739704 5787111 724780 1227813 5352348 4632653 0 0 12551 0 368186 298817 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 318757 258407 3913682 3463800 2319080 449882 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3809 8370922 5643568 1285464 1217618 0 0 5089 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4167 1290553 1221785 X 6306566 3508072 773803 913711 7080369 4421783 8370922 5643568 -2658586 0 X false true X true false X 9800539 8669042 3944464 6228221 5012556 33654822 0 0 9800539 8669042 3944464 6228221 5012556 33654822 11165696 22489126 42720 63597 746 108 0 107171 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 33761993 387595 0.6661 0.7095 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 451424 182719 268705 3462258 3281081 181177 449882 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY 4167 4167 6000124 919006 0 919006 5081118 0 0 5081118 8658710 919006 0 919006 7739704 0 0 7739704 Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 MANAGEMENT HAS EVALUATED THEIR INCOME TAX POSITIONS UNDER THE GUIDANCE INCLUDED IN ASC 740.
