Organizationally, the base of supporters increased, along with the capacity to manage advocacy efforts though improved outreach. Over 1500 supporters regularly receive communications and action alerts, and the social media outreach was expanded. The staff and board completed dozens of meetings statewide with local and state government agencies, and met with community groups, clubs and advocates around Wyoming. Staff also visited or video conferenced with many public lands offices, with significant partnership efforts with the US Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management in Laramie, Lander, Dubois, Douglas and Powell that are creating enhanced public trail systems. 92340 92340 Wyoming Pathways regularly met and corresponded with officials on the benefits and needs of biking and walking in Wyoming and to support funding programs. Educational and encouragement efforts included the local governments, Wyoming Legislature, state agencies, and with WY Governor Gordon's office. The impact can measured with progress with key State Agencies that resulted in measurable impact, including training for community leaders and advocates on bicycle pedestrian design best-practices, general program improvement, assisting communities with pathway and trail fund raising plans, and promoting budget choices to better support bicycle, pedestrian and trail programs and policies. Departments of Health, WYDOT, State Parks, Business Council, State Lands, Governor's office are all engaged, and continued progress is evident. 183436 183436 Wyoming Pathways has developed a very successful trail building partnership program and participated meaningfully in the public planning process of a number of state and federal agencies, to improve agency policies and planning decisions. Over the grant period this includes comment efforts with USFS, DOI, and the BLM public land agencies. Forest Service partnerships continue to help improve the Pole Mountain trail system on the Medicine Bow NF that serves Laramie and Cheyenne. Almost four miles were completed connecting Pole Mountain to Happy Jack and the Tie City parking lot. The partnership with the Lander BLM continued trail improvements at Johnny Behind the Rocks area, serving Lander WY and the visiting public. The new "Giddy Up" is uphill-optimized and built with horseback riders, runners, and hikers in mind. Wyoming Pathways began work on the Continental Divide Trail Project near Brooks Lake on Togwotee Pass. Wyoming Pathways programs supported protecting our public lands while enhancing access to enjoy them. 13350 13350 Local meetings, promotional materials and accounting & database staff to maintain the outreach efforts of Wyoming Pathways 13350 0 13350 378924 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 15 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X X Gina Colovich 3073495443 489 South 2nd St Lander WY 82520 X Michael Kusiek Executive Director 40 0 X X 90000 0 0 John Gallagher Treasurer 2 0 X 0 0 0 Jerimiah Reiman President 3 0 X 0 0 0 Meghan Kent Secretary 2 0 X 0 0 0 Melissa Turley Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 90000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2571 0 108625 130518 0 241714 0 100 100 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2571 0 241814 100 0 0 X 90000 75000 10000 5000 0 2394 0 2394 142913 132913 10000 15764 15764 4321 2553 1768 0 8249 8249 0 0 0 0 0 0 23034 23034 0 0 0 0 0 1816 1816 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2576 2576 Lander JBR Trail 61000 61000 0 0 Pole Mountain Trail Project 23854 23854 0 0 Togwotee CDT Project 21125 21125 0 0 Teton Program Trails 11040 11040 0 0 408086 378924 24162 5000 288895 122623 50218 50243 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 339113 172866 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 339113 172866 0 0 339113 172866 339113 172866 -166272 0 0 0 25 0 X 0 0 0 X 126079 180770 135112 296483 118233 856677 101590 188302 202450 168000 123481 783823 227669 369072 337562 464483 241714 1640500 1640500 50 31 100 181 0 50 31 0 100 181 0 0 227669 369122 337593 464483 241814 1640681 0.99989 0.99992 0.00011 0.00008 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3000 2000 5000 403086 408086 81617 20404 0 0 64252 59941 79003 81617 284813 427220 4000 3500 4000 5000 16500 16063 14985 19751 20404 71203 106805 1800 1500 2000 3000 8300 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The 990 is first prepared by the Executive Director with assistance from the Bookkeeper, then it is distributed to the Board of Directors for review.
