Rising costs and limited options mean many parents are having to make tough choices — from delaying having kids, to quitting careers, to working extra jobs, to having to work when they’d rather stay home.

The Policy Project is exploring practical solutions to help families navigate these challenges, make the choices that work best for them, and ensure a strong future for Utah.

What to expect at the Policy Solutions Forum:

Light breakfast
Overview of the issue in Utah
Real stories from Utahns experiencing these challenges firsthand
Comments from Aimee Winder Newton, Senior Advisor to Governor Cox and Director of the Utah Office of Families
Panel discussion with Representative Tracy Miller, Senator Luz Escamilla, and Representative Jason Thompson

We hope you’ll join us for this important conversation and partner with us in crafting practical solutions! For any questions about the event, please reach out to jayden@thepolicyproject.org.
