UNA Board Updates

After six years of dedicated service Peggy Green, Paul Burnett, and Dr. Ruby Chou will be leaving the UNA Board, effective January 31. Not only did they serve on the board, but all served on the Executive Committee and led UNA through the COVID-19 pandemic. Utah is better for their service, and we are deeply grateful for their commitment and years of thoughtful, diligent support.

In Case You Missed It

HB43 & You

Utah’s HB43 has shaken things up for nonprofits, and it’s all about cutting the red tape (yay!). No more state registration hoops to jump through, but don’t pop the confetti yet—there’s still plenty to keep an eye on. Register for HB43 & You: What Your Nonprofit Needs to Do Now to break it all down.

Are Nonprofits Required to File a BOI Report Under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA)?

Most nonprofit organizations are exempt from the reporting rules. From a legal point of view, many nonprofit organizations do not have “owners,” so there is nothing to report. Learn more.
