"Informed Decision Maker of the Year Award" Honoree: Erin Litvack

Each year, the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute recognizes individuals and entities that work, often behind the scenes and with little fanfare, to help our community prosper. We call them “Informed Decision Makers” and select them based on criteria consistent with the Institute’s committable core values: Responsibility to the community; Research integrity and relevance; accountability; collaboration; and positivity and passion.
 
 Today we hear from 2023 honoree Erin Litvack. Erin has served the people of Salt Lake County for more than 15 years, first as the Director of Community Services before being promoted to Deputy Mayor and Chief Administrative Officer in 2017. In addition, she serves her community through numerous organizations and initiatives, including the boards of the Unified Police Department, Visit Salt Lake, Downtown Alliance, Shelter the Homeless, and the Housing Authority of Salt Lake County. Erin has a sterling reputation as a hard-working, empathetic, and a dedicated public servant.
