Weber County Commission honors Crystal Bowl recipients including victims coordinator, nonprofit, educator and veteran

At a recent Weber County Commission meeting, the commission presented its annual Crystal Bowl awards to an employee, a nonprofit, an individual and a veteran in recognition of community service.

The Crystal Bowl is presented each year to people and organizations that have “made meaningful impacts” in Weber County. This year’s honorees included a long-serving county victim coordinator, a local nonprofit clinic, a community leader and a veteran.

Jamie Pitt, victim coordinator supervisor at the Weber County Attorney’s Office, was recognized for more than 15 years of service. According to the announcement, Pitt has 15½ years with the office, has guided hundreds of victims through the criminal justice system and has extensive experience in more than 100 homicide cases.

Secret Memorial Clinic, described in the announcement as a nonprofit, was honored for providing free medical, dental, vision and mental health care to underserved populations in northern Utah. The commission noted the clinic’s mission is centered on providing care without judgment or financial barriers.

Luis Lopez was cited for more than 20 years of work in education and civic leadership. The announcement said Lopez has served in roles at Weber State University, the Ogden School District and the Ogden City Council, and that he founded Latinos United to promote education and civic engagement in northern Utah.

Carl Boyington was recognized as a veteran. The announcement said he served 26 years in the U.S. Army Field Artillery, joined the Utah National Guard in 1956 and retired in 1982 with the rank of major; it also noted he served in a battalion training and operations role prior to retiring in Salt Lake City.

The commission closed the presentation by congratulating the recipients.
