** One Utah Summit
------------------------------------------------------------

This week we hosted the One Utah Summit in Cedar City! This was the 35th consecutive year of rural summits and it was great to see so many Utahns talk about leadership, innovation and the strength of rural.

We loved participating as a judge in the State Bank Business Competition and admired the entrepreneurial spirit of those who competed. Special thanks to Shawn and Carrie Bradley ([link removed]) for sharing their wisdom, and congratulations to Larry Echo Hawk ([link removed]) for winning this year’s Utah Rural Legacy Leader Award! We were also honored to share the stage with Noelle Pikus-Pace ([link removed]) and Janson Pace about leading with vulnerability, being teachable, and finding greatness at home.

Thanks to all the public and private sector leaders who joined us, especially those who graduated as the first cohort of the Utah Rural Leadership Academy. We look forward to seeing what the Utah Rural Leadership Academy Year 2 Cohort learns about developing leadership and making a powerful impact on the community.

Utah has a bright future, and we were honored to spend time with and learn from others at the Summit.


** Latino Town Hall

Calling all Latinos in Utah!

On Monday, Oct. 24, we will be hosting a Latino Town Hall from 5-7 p.m. at the Salt Lake Community College Grand Theatre.

** You’ve got mail!
------------------------------------------------------------

Utahns – start checking your mailboxes next week. On Tuesday, Oct. 18, all of Utah’s 29 county clerks will start mailing out ballots. If you’re an active registered voter, you’ll automatically receive a ballot in the mail. Not sure? Check your voter registration information right here. ([link removed])

We also launched a cool new feature that allows voters to track their ballot from the moment county clerks put it in the mail until it’s counted. Sign up for text or email updates for your ballot at ballottrax.utah.gov/voter/.

Your vote is your voice. We hope you’ll use your franchise to shape our great state and nation during the 2022 general election.


** Governor’s Award for Excellence Highlight
------------------------------------------------------------

Each week, we are highlighting a state employee who was recently awarded the Governor’s Award for Excellence. This week we are recognizing Elizabeth Baylock with the Utah Department of Commerce.

Elizabeth works as the Senior Enforcement Investigator for the Division of Securities and is a critical member of the Securities team. She was instrumental in ending one of the largest Ponzi schemes in Utah’s history. Elizabeth created a task force of state and federal agents who were able to investigate and prosecute the fraud. She was nominated by the U.S. Department of Justice for the United States Attorney General’s award for distinguished service for her work on this case. Elizabeth Blaylock truly represents and serves the Division of Securities, the Department of Commerce, and the state of Utah.

Thank you, Elizabeth, for your dedication to the state of Utah. Keep up the great work! To read about the Governor’s Awards for Excellence, click here. ([link removed]) [link removed]
