Dana Gauthier
The Northern Utah Chapter puts on two two day annual conferences. These are large undertakings. Both are hybrid and require coordinating with A/V, locations, caterers as well as 16 hours worth of speakers. We typically accomodate 150 participants, 60-75% in person and the remainder virtual. Dana is our quarterback, handling the logistics and coordinating hosting packets, speaker bios, and ensuring a high quality product for all participants. She also works to ensure our CPE requirements are met for the major certifications our participants have, CGFM, CPA, CFE and CIA. On top of an already demanding job, Dana puts in countless hours preparing and executing this conference. She has turned down president-elect twice in order to continue refining the conference process to make sure when she leaves all the tools her successor needs will be in place.
