Whether addressing childhood obesity by bringing healthy food closer to home for the nearly half-million children living in Alabama communities with limited access to fresh, healthy foods or closing educational achievement gaps by increasing access to high-quality Pre-K for Alabama four-year-olds, for more than 30 years VOICES for Alabama's Children has represented the interests of children at the policy and decision making level of state government. We promote researched-based policy solutions that move us closer to the kind of Alabama we all want for our children. Other historical successes include the requirement of criminal background checks for school personnel, strengthening of the state's child passenger safety law, to name a few. VOICES for Alabama's Children successfully influences the conversation around children's issues - particularly issues that present the biggest barriers to a child's optimum development - through targeted public awareness campaigns, partnerships and coalitions. Seizing opportunities through traditional and social media to publicize our message expands Alabama's knowledge of where we stand on key children's issues. These opportunities allowed us to reach over two million people in 2016. Most importantly, nurturing existing relationships with partner organizations and building new ones reinforces and increases the breadth support of key policy priorities we purport will make the biggest impact in the lives of Alabama children. 71013 The AELA (Alabama Expanded Learning Alliance) program is related to a fiscal sponsorship agreement between AELA and VOICES. AELA's mission is to ensure Alabama youth, families and communities have access to high-quality programming during out-of-school time that promotes positive development and life-long learning. 44124 14050 Tracking data that details child well-being is the most important indicator of Alabama's long-term economic and social future. Our research, specifically information collected for the Alabama kids count data book, establishes a solid foundation for all of our work from raising the visibility of children's issues to informing decision making at the state and local level. For more than 30 years, the Alabama kids count book, has served as both a benchmark and a road map to improving Alabama's child well-being on core indicators, including infant mortality, health, poverty, school readiness and grade level reading. Our research products are distributed widely as well as to statewide and local media, lawmakers, state agency heads, business stakeholders and community leaders. 14715 14715 504630 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 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 1 22 0 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 16 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X X Rhonda Mann 3342132410 PO Box 4576 Montgomery AL 36103 Brittney Anderson Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 Terri Averett Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 Alison Scott Vice President 1.50 X 0 0 0 Sam Blakemore Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 Richard Embrey Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 Tejuania Nelson-Gill Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 Heather Brothers New Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 Freddy Rubio Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 Dawn Walton Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 Charles Ray Nash Member at Large 1.50 X 0 0 0 Jeremy Arthur Member at Large 1.50 X 0 0 0 Michon Trent Executive Director 40.00 X X 0 0 0 Rhonda Mann Past Executive Director 40.00 X X 107890 0 0 Marie Hurley Blair Immediate Past President 1.50 X 0 0 0 Sue McInnish President 1.50 X 0 0 0 Lynn Beshear Secretary 1.50 X 0 0 0 Nicole Schroer Treasurer 1.50 X 0 0 0 107890 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 3325 839248 842573 Kids Count 513130 14050 14050 14050 1961 1961 Miscellaneous Income 900099 16146 16146 16146 874730 14050 0 18107 240539 240539 4931 4612 319 13545 13545 49322 14920 34402 14715 14715 29593 16393 13200 28482 28482 13283 12918 365 14015 14015 32266 32266 16121 14292 1829 14587 2654 11933 653 653 5803 5803 8636 8636 Contract Labor 62635 62635 Publications 54856 54856 Supplies 14782 13362 1420 Events 5548 5548 7072 5159 1913 631384 504630 126754 0 189198 329465 2545 113576 7800 716 2696 2777 33697 27489 6813 6208 16959 49351 226011 502093 11455 9618 17901 45710 29356 55328 X 0 0 0 0 192613 442723 196655 446765 226011 502093 X 243346 6765 -1 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 588173 489582 442356 371394 822823 2714328 588173 489582 442356 371394 822823 2714328 2714328 1045 241 260 301 1961 3808 2493 -377 2116 2720252 7018 0.99780 0.99830 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 4415 10300 14715 616669 631384 119708 29927 0 0 110292 72067 66140 119708 368207 552311 34536 29047 10571 14715 88869 27573 18017 16535 29927 92052 138078 9704 14524 3171 4415 31814 33697 27489 6208 6208 Finance ROU Asset 23609 Operating ROU Asset 21872 Overpayment of Insurance Due 3870 49351 Operating Lease Liability - ST 21872 Finance Lease Liability - ST 4943 Finance Lease Liability 18895 45710 X 881495 6765 6765 874730 0 874730 631384 0 631384 0 631384 Part X, Line 2: Management has evaluated the Organization's tax position and concluded that the Organization has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements.
