Utah Boards and Commissions
One way for Utah women to become engaged in leadership roles within their communities is to serve on nonprofit and government boards, commissions, and committees. This webpage will provide information to help you get started in thinking about this type of influence and service. First, we provide links or contact information for potential government boards, commissions, and committees (statewide, county, and city). Second, we will highlight information that may be helpful if you are interested in serving with a nonprofit organization.
