The Utah Board of Higher Education is on the cusp of a wholesale change of board membership.
This summer, the 10-member board, which includes one student, will succeed the current 18-member board under governance changes prescribed inGov. Spencer Cox retained none of the existing board members, whose service has ranged from a decade to one year. Typically, Utah governors have appointed new members to the board as some sitting members' terms expired or as the members resigned.
Among Cox's appointees, four lead tech companies: Steve Neeleman, founder of the financial technology company HealthEquity; Tina Larson, chief operating officer of the biotech company Recursion; Aaron Skonnard, co-founder and CEO of the tech workforce development company Pluralsight; and Cydni Tetro, CEO of the e-commerce platform Brandless.
Jones said her service on the Utah State Board of Regents, later renamed the Utah Board of Higher Education under SB111, was a "heavy lift." Each board member has been assigned to colleges or universities, where they have had regular contact with the respective presidents and have attended some institutional board of trustee meetings, she said.
