UAPCS STANDS READY TO LEAD On behalf of the UAPCS Board of Directors, I want to thank you for your membership, confidence and support of our organization. We appreciate the opportunity to build on recent and positive momentum with our membership, funding opportunities and legislative successes. We appreciate our partnership with the Utah State Charter School Board and its leadership through Dr. Paul Kremer and Marie Steffenson, Executive and Associate Executive Directors. Their leadership, team and our partnership with them are stronger than ever. Once again, our Charter Day on the Hill in January was enormously successful. We appreciated the support of Lt. Gov. Diedre Henderson, who addressed students, participating schools’ engaging student performances and enthusiastic volunteers who led our student Capitol tours. Executive Director Royce Van Tassell, along with an energetic and capable UAPCS staff, continues to drive an aggressive agenda within the charter school industry, including influencing a favorable direction with Utah State Board of Education policy. Our main goal is to provide a support system for the industry and lead programs that complement the objectives of our member schools while productively integrating with the overall objectives of the Utah State Board of Education and other key stakeholders. Please join us at the UAPCS Charter School Conference June 11-12 at the Davis Conference Center in Layton, Utah. It’s an ideal opportunity to network with UAPCS and your charter school peers while accessing industry resources and education. UAPCS stands ready to lead and promote the further growth and evolution of Utah education, and I appreciate the opportunity to lead the board during this exciting time. I look forward to working with you all and listening to your feedback. Doug Keefe UAPCS Board Chair 7
