Alison Beddard & Ken Kimball Newly Elected to Utah Pride Center Board of Directors
The Utah Pride Center today announced the election of two Utah business professionals to its non-profit Board of Directors – Alison Beddard and Ken Kimball. Both will serve three-year terms.
Since 2005, Alison Beddard has worked as a successful commercial real estate broker with Commerce Real Estate Solutions in Salt Lake City. For many years, Alison has also been a key committee member for the annual Utah Pride Center Golf Classic.
