Our Speakers:

Senator Kathleen Reibe

A longtime teacher and community leader, she brings a deep commitment to public education, working families, and practical solutions that strengthen Utah communities. Known for her thoughtful approach and willingness to engage across perspectives, she has become a respected voice on education policy and legislative issues at the Capitol. Earlier this year, Senator Riebe joined the Women’s Democratic Club of Utah to provide a thoughtful legislative preview, helping our members understand what to expect in the upcoming session. We are thrilled to welcome her back to share her legislative insights and a comprehensive wrap-up following the close of the session.
