Public Policy Lessons from the Michael O. Leavitt Administration

In the spring of 2024, the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute hosted two forums titled What’s Past is Prologue: Public Policy Lessons from the Past Quarter Century. The forums featured Utah’s 14th governor, Michael O. Leavitt, many of the people who served with him, and several of today’s policy leaders, creating an influential public policy discussion around the past, present, and future. The summaries highlight significant policy priorities, as described by participants and informed by lessons learned from Governor Leavitt’s administration.
Gardner Institute director Natalie Gochnour sat down with Governor Leavitt to discuss the forums and what he hopes decision-makers can learn from the proceedings.
