2024 External Advisory Board Members
The mission and purpose of the Janet Quinney Lawson Institute for Land, Water, and Air are to provide guidance and observations concerning categories of content. In addition, the committee strategizes ways in which report information can be accessed by and distributed to individuals, communities, government, non-profit, and private sector organizations.
It is our intent that the institute, in collaboration with our external partners, will establish a foundation for conversation, learning, and rigorous scientific research, and will serve to inform in the universal marketplace of ideas. As we move forward with new activities, we will continue to rely upon and seek guidance from Utahns representing the wide breadths of history, perspectives, and expertise that define our uniqueness as a state.
