For the second year, Envision Utah is partnering with some of the most knowledgeable planners, designers, community development leaders, and other professionals to host a two-hour academy covering topics essential to the development of successful centers. This Quality Communities Academy will once again cover some of the most important topics and considerations for developing quality communities. Academy speakers include Evan Curtis from the Governor's Office of Management and Budget, Susan Becker from Zions Bank, Julie Bjornstad from the Wasatch Front Regional Council, Jim Wood from the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute, and Ari Bruening from Envision Utah.

Tickets are $30 per person and must be purchased ahead of time. Students may attend at no cost but must register through Eventbrite in advance. Please bring a student ID to the workshop.

The academy will be broadcasted through the Utah State University Extension campuses in eight counties across the state; we will email you after your purchase to confirm which location you will be attending. The locations for the Quality Communities Academy are:
