#plugintodevin Show Guest: Elizabeth Hill Chair of the Democratic Women of Utah County Issue: solving the homeless crisis in Utah County, access to Mental Health Services and Suicide Prevention, gerrymandering, Affordable Insurance or Universal Health Care, overcrowded classrooms, helping folks transition from gov assistance with a better living wage, equal pay for women and rational student loan programs We all know someone or are someone that has been personally affected by these issues Elect leaders that also care deeply about these issues that are committed to addressing and solving them. Volunteering time and resources can make a big difference in many of these areas. Bio: Elizabeth Hill- Chair of the Board for Democratic Women of Utah County. I am a paralegal working in Family Law and a firm believer in access to justice. I am a senior manager of volunteers for FanX, managing 150+ volunteers for Vendor Floor and Artist Alley. A firm believer in the value of volunteering whenever and wherever I can to make a difference in this world. DWUC is a group of women and men in Utah County that are committed to engaging in monthly meetings that provide information about local opportunities to volunteer, candidates running for office and global issues that affect us locally. We try to highlight local organizations that are making positive contributions to our community. Our membership dues are used solely to provide a scholarship for a nontraditional student seeking to further their education through UVU. Throughout the year we hold opportunity drawings at the monthly dinners for an item that is donated by a board member, and the money raised is donated to Project Read. We also do a yearly sub for Santa for the holiday and provide a wonderful holiday for a local family through the generous donations of our members. We have been highlighting Utah Women from our past and present this year as we celebrate the anniversary (150 for Utah!) of the right to vote. Some of the key issues that concern our members are: solving the homeless crisis in Utah County, access to Mental Health Services and Suicide Prevention, gerrymandering, Affordable Insurance or Universal Health Care, overcrowded classrooms, helping folks transition from gov assistance with a better living wage, equal pay for women and rational student loan programs. Of course, we could go on and on about the issues that we as a group care deeply about. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Democratic-Women-of-Utah-County-199367541541/ Photo credit: Reiko Turner
