40th National Square Dance Convention®
Education Fund

The 40th National Square Dance Convention was held in Salt Lake City, Utah on June 27, 28 & 29, 1991 under General Chairmen Glenn & Lois Baldwin. Once the convention was over and all bills had been paid, the remaining funds were placed in an I.R.S. 501(c)3 account for future seed money for another convention and for continued square dance education programs within the State of Utah.

I.R.S. 501(c)3 is a tax exempt status for education purposes within a recognized organization.

A binding agreement was legally drawn up and signed by Glenn Baldwin of 40th National and Glade Fawson of ASDCU in 1998 that an annual distribution is to be made to ASDCU, "to educate the public, and to foster and promote square and round dancing in the State of Utah." All member clubs of ASDCU can apply through ASDCU.

The 40th Nat. board consists of six trustee's (three couples) each serving a 3 year term. A new trustee couple is appointed to the position annually, usually during the ASDCU Spring Festival. All trustee's had to have served on the ASDCU board within 3 years of being appointed to 40th National.
