"It makes me feel more hopeful being in the space with other Cultural Industry leaders. Connecting with other organizations is a good way to remember that we are all in the fight for arts and culture together and we are stronger when we support each other. "
"Networking with colleagues and seeing legislators as they came through."
"I really loved the chance to speak about our organization's work to legislators and the general public and make them aware of how many grant dollars we put back into Utah's cultural heritage communities. I also enjoyed meeting people from organizations who are eligible for grants with us. This opportunity was a major win for us!"
"I was impressed by the turnout and how many tabling events there were. I learned about an opportunity with a couple of organizations that would benefit the library where I work."
"It was a fantastic first experience with the legislature. I look forward to participating again."
