December 21, 2006 – The 2006 IMBA Report Card hails Oregon and Scotland, while handing demerits to British Columbia and Montana. The Report Card, now in its eighth edition, gauges the riding opportunities and advocacy strength in the United States, Canadian Provinces and nations with significant IMBA activities.

In 2006, IMBA has stepped away from assigning each state, province and nation individual grades. Instead, we’re hoping to focus attention where it’s most needed: the top of the class, and the problem students who will need extra attention to succeed in 2007.

An abbreviated version of the Report Card appears below. For full details, please visit IMBA’s website.
