We held an in-person symposium in April 2022 at the Hamilton restaurant in downtown DC. The program featured a policy discussion with NTIA (Doug Kinkoph) and two SHLB Board members (Rachelle Chong and Larry Irving). We raised sponsorship funding of $205,503 and about 150 people attended at no charge. After canceling our annual conference ("AnchorNets") in 2020 and 2021, we renewed the conference in 2022 with great success. Almost 400 people attended the event from Oct. 12-14, 2022 at the Sheraton Crystal City hotel in the DC region. The conference included workshops, plenary addresses, and break-out sessions with presentations from government officials, anchor institutions, public interest groups and private sector companies. 182741 0 729619 The SHLB Coalition membership program continued to grow and provided the largest amount of financial support for the organization. Membership grew to approximately 325 organizations by the end of 2022 and reflected a diversity of anchor institutions, broadband providers, consultants, and other public interest organizations. We continued to hold policy calls for the full membership every two weeks (usually attended by 120-130 people) along with 7 monthly policy group calls (on spectrum, infrastructure, pole attachments, E-rate, RHC, higher education and broadband mapping). Our Annual report summarized our accomplishments and listed the 54 new members that joined in 2022 294222 0 35000 The SHLB Coalition continues to engage in wide-ranging policy advocacy to solve the "digital divide" by promoting open, affordable broadband for anchor institutions and their communities. We filed comments and met with officials in Congress, at the FCC and NTIA on Universal Service reform, on pole attachment policies, on E-rate and Rural Healthcare reform, and implementation of the Broadband Equity Access and Deployment (BEAD) program, the Digital Equity Act, and the Capital Projects Fund. We also supported continued funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program and the Emergency Connectivity Fund (ECF). We had several successes, including convincing the FCC to extend the service delivery deadline for the ECF program, and persuading the FCC to open a rulemaking proceeding on pole attachments. We also initiated a coalition (with INCOMPAS and NTCA) to promote reform of the USF contribution mechanism, but unfortunately the FCC issued a report in August that disagreed with our policy recommendation on this topic. We also increased our contacts and advocacy with state broadband officials who have the primary responsibility for distributing BEAD and Digital Equity Act funding. We also secured funding and published an economic study by Dr. Raul Katz (with the Open Technology Institute of New America) demonstrating the economic benefits of allowing schools and libraries to deploy wireless broadband service to communities in need. 0 0 0 838828 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 13 0 1 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 14 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 X X John Windhausen 2022634626 1250 Connecticut Ave NW Suite 700 Washington DC 20036 John Windhausen Executive Director 40 0 X X X 233845 0 0 Rachelle Chong Chairman 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Cindy Aden Vice Chair 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Elwood Downing Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Debra Kriete Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Cathy Cruzan Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Beverly Sutherland Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Paula Boyd Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Julia Fallon Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Lauren Moore Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Angela Siefer Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Phil Neufeld Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Melissa Slawson Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Larry Irving Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Scott Boone Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 233845 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 58335 70772 0 129107 Conference Registration and Sponsorship 611710 300869 300869 0 0 Membership Dues 921110 729619 729619 0 0 Advocacy and Research 813920 35000 35000 0 0 0 0 0 0 1065488 543 543 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1195138 1066031 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 233845 194476 27929 11440 0 0 0 0 310995 267748 28218 15029 6855 5827 685 343 46413 35733 8578 2102 40350 34298 4035 2017 42070 42070 30389 30389 108325 74011 32314 2000 94184 62952 20833 10399 10973 2382 8591 7543 7543 27617 15429 12188 103902 103902 0 1413 1413 11628 11628 1076502 838828 194344 43330 364094 371827 255015 255270 9722 36177 11996 5356 640827 668630 79241 80605 265532 173335 344773 253940 X 296054 414690 0 0 296054 414690 640827 668630 118636 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 556683 778445 632518 784689 1194595 3946930 556683 778445 632518 784689 1194595 3946930 3946930 169 517 3608 488 543 5325 3952255 0.99865 0.99805 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 24745 0 24745 1051759 1076504 182650 45663 0 0 128320 107151 131325 182650 549446 824169 11394 43704 14120 24745 93963 32080 26788 32831 45663 137362 206043 0 0 14120 24745 38865 1195138 0 0 0 0 0 1195138 0 0 0 1195138 1076502 0 0 0 0 0 1076502 0 0 0 1076502 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 John Windhausen Executive Director 223845 0 10000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 233845 0 0 0 Schedule J, Part I, Line 3 The SHLB compensation convenes annually to review the Executive Director and set his salary.
