Graham Kelly

Board Member

Graham was asked to join the board soon after its conception in late 2020. He is the Board Secretary and Outreach Committee Chair. He has a background in education and currently works at a high school teaching English. Graham has grown up with a heart for serving his community that was fostered during his time in the Boy Scouts and later in a short stint with the Forest Service. Though only having lived in Utah for a short time, he already feels like he can call it his home and is grateful for this opportunity to give back.

Meet Dawn Wilson, Board Treasurer for UNC.  Dawn is a long time resident of Utah and has had board experience with several Utah non-profits over the last 20 years as well as extensive experience in the financial services industry.
