Summary

Organizers credited local sponsors for covering the cost and noted that one speaker's recorded presentation will be available online for 30 days.
Davis County Commissioner Loreen Kamalu opened Davis County's Seventh Annual Community Resilience Symposium at Davis Technical College, saying that more than 800 people had registered for the free event held in person and virtually. She told attendees that the room was nearly full and that hundreds more typically view the recording after the event.
Kamalu said the symposium is free because local sponsors underwrite the cost. She named the sponsors, including Intermountain Health, Holy Cross Hospital (Davis), Healthy Choice Utah, Davis Technical College, Davis Behavioral Health and the Davis County Health Department. Kamalu invited members of a small planning committee and a larger human services directors group to stand for recognition.
The commissioner also warned attendees about limited online availability for one presentation: the first speaker's prerecorded segment will be viewable for 30 days only. Organizers distributed printed agendas and presenter biographies to those attending in person and asked participants to complete evaluation forms after the program.
Kamalu introduced local partners who helped host and plan the event, including Marcy Clark of the health department; Darren Brush, president of Davis Technical College; Sheriff Sparks; and Brandon Hatch, chief executive officer of Davis Behavioral Health. She said planning begins immediately for next year and encouraged people interested in joining the small planning committee to sign up.
The county said continuing-education credit information would be distributed by email to registrants. Organizers built short breaks into this year's program and provided information about rooms and water refill stations on site.
The event agenda included multiple speakers on trauma, resilience and human services, and organizers said recordings and photos would be shared with registrants once processing is complete.
