UACS Leadership

The Utah Association of Community Services (UACS) is guided by a dedicated Executive Council, composed entirely of volunteer leaders from within our membership. Each member of the council is an active participant in the association and is elected by their peers through an annual voting process.

We are deeply grateful for the time, commitment, and leadership our Executive Council members provide in advancing the mission and vision of UACS. Their service plays a vital role in strengthening Utah’s disability service system and supporting our statewide community of providers.
