UEA is excited to launch a new Advanced Policy Ambassador program for those who previously completed the Policy Ambassador program. The advanced program is designed to 1) enhance leadership skills by mentoring new Policy Ambassadors; 2) develop politically engaged members at the local level and 3) foster a deeper understanding of the policymaking process, including the State Board of Education. Eight former Policy Ambassadors were selected to participate in the first cohort of Advanced Policy Ambassadors:

• Lori Buhr, Multi-Language Learner Specialist, Tooele
• Hunter Clapsadl, 6th Grade English, Granite
• Hillary Emmer, School Counselor, Jordan
• Sarah Jones, Instructional Coach, Davis
• Taylor Layton, Instructional Coach/Math, Granite
• Kristine Martin, Math, Grand
• Bianca Mittendorf, Title IX Coordinator, Davis
• Sarah Nichols, Resource, Salt Lake
