Catholic Community Services of Utah honored people who have made a difference Wednesday before taking steps to make a difference itself.
The honorees, recognized at the annual Dream Builders Breakfast, included St. Joseph Catholic Elementary School, homeless advocate Pamela Atkinson and Weber County Commissioner Jan Zogmaister. The group also honored Robert Hunter, of United Way of Northern Utah.
The Salt Lake Tribune - Catholic Community ServicesWork Harder than the "good old boys":
"Coming into the commission I did not know a tenth of what I know today about county government. But I was willing to be fully engaged, and during the process of running I educated myself on everything, because you have no idea who is going to ask what question. I wanted to make sure I had the answer or could get the answer. I would assure people I would get back to them with the answer, and that helped in my campaign because people knew I would follow through."

- "Zogmaister wants to get the community more involved in county decisions."
- "On taxes, she has a pithy, but sensible philosophy: Weber County should do what government is supposed to do, and the private sector should handle its responsibilities."
- "During her tenure, Zogmaister has shown dedication, serving on state and regional transportation boards and is involved with plans for the North Legacy corridor."
"To sum up, Zogmaister is simply more qualified, and more experienced, than her opponents.
