The Wasatch Front Economic Development District strategy committee ratified new member appointments and leadership for 2026 during its March 12 meeting, approving a private-sector co-chair role and confirming the vice-chair position.
During introductions, the chair announced that Mary Katherine Perry would serve as a private-sector co-chair alongside the sitting chair and that Railen Blocker would serve as vice chair. Commissioner-led discussion noted the change brings private-sector perspective to committee leadership and that the appointments were previously approved by the WFRC council and required ratification by this committee.
