Gwen Springmeyer was born in Utah and grew up enjoying all the natural wonders of the state. She moved away for a while but returned because she recognized how much she values the lifestyle and special environment. Gwen graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in Economics. She has worked as a State of Utah probation officer, an Olympic organizer, a public relations liaison for Salt Lake City and the director the Utah Nonprofits Association. She is most proud of her environmental work with the Utah Rivers Council and the Utah Clean Air Partnership (UCAIR). Gwen is grateful for the opportunity to use her skills to further the mission of Breathe Utah.
