'''The Utah Furry Forum''' is the name of a furry group centered in and around [[wikipedia:Salt_Lake_City,_Utah|Salt Lake City, Utah]] with members all along the [[wikipedia:Wasatch_Front|Wasatch Front]] from [[wikipedia:Ogden,_Utah|Ogden]] to [[wikipedia:Provo,_Utah|Provo]]/[[wikipedia:Orem,_Utah|Orem]].<br />
<br />
It is also the name of the mailing list that has been used by the group to coordinate and arrange their activities. This list is hosted on [http://groups.yahoo.com Yahoo!Groups] under ''utah_furry_forum''.<br />
<br />
The group hosts at least one meet a month, on the first Saturday of the month. During the winter/in inclement weather, these are usually at ''The Salt Lake Roasting Co.'' in Salt Lake City. During the summer, they are usually at parks and other outdoor public venues.<br />
<br />

== Group Structure ==<br />
The UFF leadership consists of three moderators with 1 year term limits. The moderators are appointed/elected at 4 month intervals to insure a constantly rotating leadership committee. Moderators can serve a second 1 year term if approved by the membership in a vote.<br />
<br />
In the past, the responsibilities of these moderators were largely limited to the usual tasks that come with maintaining mailing lists: welcoming new members, answering questions, etc.<br />
<br />
More recently, these responsibilities have expanded to include coordinating activities at the monthly meets, operating an IRC channel on [http://www.anthrochat.net/ AnthroChat] (#UtahFurs), working on relationships with local businesses and institutions and maintaining a database of fur-suiters for activities.<br />
<br />
Members are not limited to the events and activities that the moderators come up with, and are encouraged to use the mailing list to arrange and coordinate their own events.<br />

== Activities ==<br />
As well as the monthly "coffee meet," which is just an excuse for people to get together, meet each other and make conversation, the UFF has recently had bowling and mini-golf meets (with and without fursuiters) and will coordinate anything from shooting trips and barbecues to laser-tag and sushi runs.<br />
<br />
Members from the UFF can be found at RMFC, FURther CONfusion, and Rainfurrest (these being fairly close to the Salt Lake region) and less occasionally at other conventions. Members who are interested in going to conventions frequently coordinate to split travel and boarding costs.<br />
