Each year, key lawmakers are invited by United Ways of Utah to participate in a panel discussion about important issues that will be addressed during the upcoming legislative session. At this event, we increase awareness and gain support for key public policy priorities that will improve education, health, and economic mobility outcomes for kids and families in Utah.
Join us to learn about how we are garnering state-level support for community-based partnership initiatives that we know get better educational outcomes and increase economic mobility. Learn more about community-based partnership initiatives in this report from the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute. Hear about this and other legislative priorities ahead of the 2026 General Session, and how you can support our advocacy work to help advance policies that benefit Utah kids and families.
