WORK HISTORY
Program Manager of Training and Outreach @Utah Microloan Fund
Salt Lake City, UT, US
The mission of the Utah Microloan Fund is to empower underserved communities throughout Utah by providing business training and funding up to $50k to entrepreneurs in start-up & existing businesses that do not qualify for traditional funding sources. I fulfill a dual role here as we are a small but mighty team. I provide one-on-one counseling to the 100+ clients of the UMLF. This includes advising these small business owners on best practices on how to start or grow their business. I also participate in the development, promotion, coordination, and delivery of small business training classes. Both the one-on-one counseling and our trainings focus on social media, marketing, sales, business planning, cash flow, HR needs. To do this I manage a database of my clients and their business information, viable guest instructors, class materials, and more. I also prepare ongoing reporting on the program to our government and corporate benefactors. For outreach, I handle the A to Z of the marketing and outreach for our organization. This includes managing our website, social media profiles (LinkedIn/Instagram/Facebook) our online presence (Google Business, Yelp, etc.), participation in local chambers/events, branding new, etc. The primary purpose of our pages is to share helpful resources, market our classes/events, info about our loans, and more. I also spotlight our clients by sharing updates from them as well as Business of the Month interviews I write into a blog each month. I am also able to design all of our art needs such as flyers, reports, graphics, animated social posts, and more. I just helped roll out a brand new website for the UMLF along with our developer Eighth Avenue Designs. In addition, I run our client advisory board which is comprised of current borrowers who meet quarterly to provide valuable feedback to our organization. I also help prepare our annual report, help facilitate the marketing and admin of our Banking on Women program, and much more.

ABOUT SARA DAY
Salt Lake Native Sara Day\'s entrepreneurial spirit began at the ripe old age of five with lemonade stands and bake sales on her street corner. With her cigar box full of change and precious dollar bills, the bug was born. She then went from selling the most Girl Scout cookies in her troop to eventually being on the founding team of the fast-casual restaurant chain Even Stevens Sandwiches. Sara is now the Program Manager of Training and Outreach at Utah Microloan Fund where she provides business consulting and training to emerging entrepreneurs as well as leads marketing and outreach efforts across the state. With a deep love for the community, Sara in her free time has served on the board for Local First Utah & Westminster\'s Social Impact Incubator. She also created @local_enthusiast_slc, an award-winning Instagram aimed at bringing people together over shared interests in Utah. When Sara isn’t working, she is camping her way across the West, adventuring with her two big dogs, and going full-out for costume contests.
