DescDue to COVID-19, SHLB replaced its annual conference with a series of online workshops. From August to November, SHLB held workshops covering key broadband issues on spectrum, e-rate, and rural healthcare. On average 112 people attended each interactive workshop and learned from key policy-makers and industry leaders how to adapt to the increased need for broadband around the country.Desc

DescIn 2020, SLHB membership grew to 218 member organizations. SHLB provides a forum for broadband advocacy where members share best practices, network and obtain regulatory and legislative updates. Members convene frequently for policy calls with the full membership, and for smaller policy groups on E-rate, the RHC program, spectrum, infrastructure legislation, and the Universal Service Fund. In our annual membership survey, 100 percent of our members reported that they would recommend SHLB to another organization and 95% of our members reported SHLB membership to be as valuable or more valuable than other coalition memberships.Desc

DescWhen the coronavirus pandemic led schools and libraries to close their physical doors and states around the country issued "stay-at-home" orders, the SHLB Coalition was one of the first to realize the dire consequences this would have for those without home broadband access. Millions of people on the wrong side of the digital divide couldn't attend school, safely visit their doctor through telemedicine, or even stay informed about the pandemic. SHLB addressed these needs by writing an emergency letter to the FCC proposing immediate actions the agency should take. The FCC adopted several SHLB recommendations to delay several E-rate filing deadlines and expand funding. In addition, in response to SHLB's feedback about rural healthcare (RHC) program inefficiencies and application processing problems, the Universal Service Administrative Company CEO Radha Sekar agreed to begin a quarterly CEO roundtable with SHLB members, which allowed SHLB and leading healthcare providers the opportunity to collaborate on improving the RHC program.Desc

ExplanationThe SHLB Coalition is a public interest group that promotes open, affordable, high-quality broadband for anchor institutions and their communities. We try to solve the digital divide by promoting broadband "to and through" anchor institutions to families and businesses. SHLB was initially funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation through the end of 2018, but we are now self-financed through membership dues, sponsorships and events, such as our Annual Conference. We are advocates for schools, libraries, healthcare providers and other anchor institutions in broadband policy initiatives and funding programs. We work primarily at the federal level with the FCC, the US Department of Commerce, and on Capitol Hill. As we grow, we plan to expand our efforts to include state policy-makers. We also seek to provide practical information to our members and the anchor institution community about how to harness the rapid changes in landline and wireless technologies to promote affordable broadband access for all.ExplanationTxt

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6The SHLB Coalition is first and foremost an advocacy organization. Our Mission is to advocate for open, affordable, high-quality broadband for anchor institutions and their communities. The Coalition takes a forward-looking approach that embraces new technologies and recommends policy changes that allow anchor institutions and their communities to benefit from technological, legal and policy developments. The Coalition is also a membership organization; members indicate that they support the SHLB Mission when they apply to join the Coalition. We are neither a "think tank" (devoted to a particular philosophy) nor a trade association (that focuses only on the interests of its members), although we have elements of both. SHLB's influence, and therefore benefit to our members, is generated through our action. As a diverse and growing Coalition, it is possible that policy disagreements among our members, or among members and staff, will occur. Disagreements require SHLB to balance our forward-looking mission with respect to the views of our members. SHLB does not act only when there is unanimity amongst our members lest we become neutralized and ineffective. Nor do we advance a particular position or philosophy without considering alternative views and positions of our members, lest we risk losing or alienating members, which could have a number of negative effects on the organization. The following process is intended to ensure that SHLB continues to act proactively to the benefit of our members, anchor institutions, and communities. Policy Process: The following guidelines outline the process to be used by the SHLB Coalition for developing and reaching decisions on policy recommendations, including situations where policy disagreements arise. 1. Policy issues may be brought up for consideration by any SHLB staff member or any SHLB member. 2. In developing policy recommendations, the SHLB Coalition Mission Statement shall be given paramount consideration. SHLB staff and members will work together to develop and review policy recommendations and evaluate whether the recommendation if adopted, would advance the SHLB Mission. 3. When a policy question is brought up, SHLB staff and members will first try to achieve consensus. This will entail a discussion on Policy Group phone calls, emails, research, edits to drafts of pleadings and discussion on bi-weekly member policy calls. It is anticipated that most policy issues will be resolved through this consensus-based process. 4. In case of disagreement that cannot be resolved through the foregoing consensus-based process, the final decision on any policy position shall be made by the Executive Director, after consultation with the SHLB Board and the appropriate Policy Group chair(s). The Executive Director shall make the final decision based on the following guidelines: a. First, does the policy recommendation advance SHLB's Mission to promote open, affordable, high-quality broadband for anchor institutions and their communities? If the proposed recommendation does not support the SHLB Mission, the recommendation shall not move forward. b.Second, if the proposed recommendation would support the SHLB Mission, does the policy recommendation have the support of a substantial portion of SHLB members, and/or would the recommendation if adopted, incur substantial opposition from SHLB members? To determine the amount of support or opposition, the Coalition does not anticipate conducting a vote of its members. Rather, the Executive Director, in his or her judgment, shall assess the level of support and/or opposition to the proposed position among the membership through informal means. 5. While the Executive Director has the discretion to make the final decision (after consultation with the Board and Policy Group Chair(s)), the Board shall have the responsibility to ensure that the Executive Director follows these guidelines as part of the Board's oversight responsibilities.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7aOne seat a year is a member-elected seat. Each year, members can apply to run for this board seat. The candidates can campaign to other SHLB members and there is a voting process. The governance committee is in charge of monitoring this process and announcing the winner. The person that receives the most member votes in the election joins the board in January of the following year.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11bThe Chief Operating Officer emails a protected copy of the Annual 990 form to all board members. Any feedback is given to the Executive Director and the COO. The accountant and the COO review and revise as needed before filing.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12cSHLB enforces its conflict of interest policy by asking Board members to sign a conflict of interest disclosure form at the beginning of each year.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15The SHLB compensation convenes annually to review the Executive Director and set his salary. The review process includes a survey sent out to the board members, SHLB staff, and key members. In addition, the Executive Director fills out a self-assessment and provides a report recapping his achievements. During the compensation discussion, the committee researches the salary of Executive Directors in similar-sized non-profits around the Washington, D.C area.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19All governance documents are available as public requests. SHLB financial statements are discussed at every board meeting. The minutes from the board meeting are posted in the SHLB membership portal and available upon request
