Articles of Incorporation

Chad Campbell, President

In July of 2017, in response to legislative action that changed the College’s name to Bridgerland Technical College and also made it "bodies politic and corporate with perpetual succession and with all rights, immunities, and franchise necessary to function as such..." (53B-2-101), the Assistant Attorney General for Technical Education at the time, Doug Richards, filed articles of incorporation with the state of Utah that defined its purpose as "any legal purpose."

In an effort to have a more comprehensive set of articles of incorporation and to help facilitate the College’s request for the Internal Revenue Service to recognize Bridgerland as an organization of the type described in section 501(c)(3), the articles of incorporation filed with the division of corporations needed to be amended. A more detailed explanation of the need for this change will be provided at the meeting.
