Job Summary

The Executive Director of Utah Education Telehealth Network (UETN) serves as its Chief Executive Officer. The Executive Director is appointed by and reports to the UETN Board working under the strategic direction and policies established by the UETN Board. The Executive Director also reports and is responsible to the CIO of the University for administrative management, policy, payroll, legal, facilities, HR and other administrative support for UETN by the University of Utah. In this report the incumbent is responsible to follow the policies and procedures of the University of Utah. The Executive Director is primarily responsible to the UETN Board for UETN’s achievement of its mission, strategic planning goals, and its communications, financial, and administrative objectives in support of the evolving networking and related information technology needs of public and higher education in the state of Utah.

The Utah Education and Telehealth Network (UETN) serves Utah’s education and healthcare institutions throughout the state. Through the use of technology, UETN connects schools, higher education institutions, libraries, museums, community learning centers, clinics, hospitals, local health departments, and other education and healthcare related organizations. UETN is a consortium of education and healthcare partners consisting of the Utah State Board of Education, the Utah System of Higher Education, local school districts and charter schools, public colleges and universities, the Utah State Library System, and multiple healthcare organizations.

The Utah Legislature formally established UETN as the statewide content delivery system for education in 1989. Broadband fiber optic technology later replaced most of the original microwave network. UETN now connects all Utah school districts, schools, higher education institutions, and more than 75 healthcare providers. More recently, in developing optical networking capabilities for research use, UETN has partnered with the Utah Department of Transportation, the Utah Transit Authority, and commercial providers for access to public rights-of-way and optical fiber. Among its peer state education networks around the country, UETN is recognized as a national leader for:

a long history of service to both public and higher education sectors in Utah for more than two decades,

the integrated and operationally robust support of advanced networking and educational collaboration tools,
UETN’s broad portfolio of innovative support for educational content, outreach, and leading-edge research that is highly dependent on advanced networking capabilities, and
UETN’s service as the anchor tenant for advanced services in rural Utah communities through collaborative relationships with the commercial sector,
its long-standing track record of financial support from and performance-based accountability to the state of Utah.

UETN maintains robust, redundant connections to the commercial Internet and also maintains a 400-Gbps connections to the advanced Internet2 Network, operated by a non- profit consortium of U.S. research universities. UETN serves as the recognized Internet2 Network K-20 participant (SEGP) for the state of Utah and was recently selected as a pilot affiliate for the U.S. UCAN initiative. As part of a regional networking collaboration, UETN works closely with research universities and peer research and education networks in Idaho and Montana.

UETN is operated under the administrative policies and services of the University of Utah on behalf of the consortium of public and higher education entities in the state. However, UETN has separate line item funding in the annual state budget and separate governance through the UETN Board.

UETN’s main offices are located in the Eccles Broadcast Center at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.
