Subscribe.  Utah is a state known for its charitable spirit and community cooperation, and this year’s Most Influential Women honorees embody those qualities in spades. From breaking barriers in industries like tech, film and law to advocating fiercely for causes close to their hearts, these inspirational leaders serve as concertmasters and CEOs, judges and deans, entrepreneurs and public servants. But most of all, they are community champions dedicated to making Utah a better place for all who call it home.
