The Utah Clean Air Partnership (UCAIR) board has appointed Thom Carter as its new executive director. UCAIR is a nonprofit organization with the goal of bringing Utah communities together to achieve clean air.
“After an extensive search, we are excited to have Thom at the helm as we write UCAIR’s next chapter,” said Steve Sands, UCAIR board chairman. “He has the skillset, talent and passion we were looking for in our next executive director.”
Carter’s background, includes work in the political and policy arena as well as international experience in professional sports. He held policy positions in communities in New Jersey and worked in Major League Baseball’s Australian operations and a domestic indoor football league.
“I’m both honored and enthused to be associated with UCAIR,” Carter said. “Stepping into this role with a highly regarded organization doing work on one of the most important issues in our state is truly exciting. I am anxious to apply the skills I’ve acquired over years of managing issues and connecting with people to keep the momentum going toward cleaner air for all of us.”
Carter replaces Ted Wilson, who retired earlier this year.
