Keynote Speaker
A Utah native, Rebecca Chavez-Houck, MPA, represented Salt Lake City’s District 24 from 2008-18 in the Utah House of Representatives, where she focused on policy related to health and human services, as well as voter engagement and access. Her leadership appointments included serving as House Minority Whip (2014-16) and House Minority Assistant Whip (2012-14). She is a 2012 Council of State Governments Toll Fellows Graduate.
Rebecca’s passion for supporting a continuum of patient-centered care, including sponsoring Utah’s End of Life Options Act for four years, shepherding expanded resources for caregivers and adult protective services, and strengthening medical interpreter credentialing, is a result of having served on legislative health and human services committees for nearly a decade.

She worked as a public affairs staffer for a number of local Utah nonprofits from 1985 to 2007 and cultivated a parallel “career” as a governance volunteer for nonprofits ranging from Envision Utah to the ACLU to Planned Parenthood Association of Utah. She currently serves on myriad local and national community boards and commissions, including the National Latino Leadership Council for Compassion and Choices and the Governor’s Multicultural Commission. Her countless awards include being named as Utah’s AARP Capitol Caregiver in 2014 and 2016.
She is adjunct faculty for the University of Utah’s Master of Public Administration program. Rebecca and her husband, Martin, have two children and enjoy traveling, especially throughout Utah and the Western US in their Class CRV.
