Utah Afterschool Network

“Form 990 is reviewed by the utah afterschool network board of directors.”

“Each member of the board of directors completes and signs a conflict of interest disclosure each year.”

“Prior to voting on senior managements compensation, the board must determine how the proposed compensation package compares to compensation paid by similar organizations for similar services. Comparability data is appropriate if it provides the board with sufficient information to determine if the compensation arrangement, in its entirety, is reasonable when compared to what similar organizations pay. There are a number of ways to obtain comparability data: 1) uan may hire a compensation consultant, 2) the board may purchase compensation comparability data from utah nonprofit association or from a human resource company, 3) the uan may use publicly available information on web sites such as www.guidestar.org to determine what comparable uans are paying their employees.”

“Utah afterschool network makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”

“Uan is a catalyst for building strong, safe, and healthy afterschool/out- of-school time programs to support youth, families, and communities. Uan has three main objectives. First, to create a sustainable structure of statewide, regional, and local partnerships. Particularly school-community partnerships, focused on supporting policy development at all levels. Second, to support the development and growth of statewide policies that will secure the resources that are needed to sustain new and existing school linked/school-based afterschool programs. Third, to support statewide systems to ensure programs are of high quality.”

“Restructured the organization to include a director of operations and hired a new executive director. Provided a suite of professional training events and saw 45% increase of participant registration at our annual statewide conference called jump start (over 500 attendees) participation and 75% increase of participant registration our regional workshops recharge (461 attendees). Our professional training events offer workshops and classes for for afterschool professionals, educators, emerging leaders and program administrators. Throughout the conference, attendees have opportunities to expand their knowledge of afterschool programming, network with others in the field, and learn new strategies to help improve youth outcomes.”
