Westside Coalition holds annual meeting
Dozens gathered at the Utah State Fairpark on a Tuesday night for community building, food, and to vote for board members who will represent them on the Westside Coalition. Local businesses and non-profits — including The West View — set up booths to educate and connect community members. Red Iguana provided a delicious buffet bar for dinner too.
In the end, three members were elected by the community to serve on the Westside Coalition board: Dan Strong, Sandra Hollins, and Justice Morath. They will serve for a period of two years.
