Over the past several years, Orlando After-School All-Stars (ASAS) has experienced significant expansion of its student services as a result of successful grants management and student achievement.

To build upon these successes, the Orlando ASAS Board of Directors and the National After-School All-Stars organization have advised Orlando ASAS to position itself to leverage increased philanthropic and donor support to sustain and enhance the organization.  To this end, the Board has voted to allocate sufficient non-profit funding to cover the cost of a full time ASAS Director of External Affairs.  The position will be responsible for donor development, external relations and fundraising, and will operate under the direction of Mr. Tyler Chandler, the ASAS State Director.

The attached Employment Agreement is for the newly created position of Orlando ASAS Director of External Affairs, to be filled by Ms. Star Hudspath, who comes to the organization with 17 years of relevant fundraising, marketing and event management experience.  As the ASAS Director of External Affairs, Ms. Hudspath will direct and coordinate the development and execution of the ASAS Orlando fundraising plan. She will also be responsible for maintaining relationships with government, foundations, and individual partners, as well as raising public awareness of ASAS.

The City of Orlando will incur no new financial obligations as a result of this Agreement. The Orlando ASAS non-profit will reimburse the City of Orlando for any and all costs associated with the position.
