Leadership Park City Announces Class 25 Roster
Leadership Park City celebrates its 25th year with its 2018/2019 class

  

PARK CITY, UTAH (September 24, 2018) — Leadership Park City is proud to announce the members of its 25th Class. The selection committee chose 32 class members from an impressive group of over 105 applicants.

Applicants hailed from Summit, Wasatch, and Salt Lake Counties, though all have some connection to Park City by way of their careers or personal lives. Program founder and director Myles Rademan explained, “We are excited to celebrate the 25th year of Leadership Park City with an outstanding class. The selection process was challenging as there were many qualified applicants. It will be a fantastic milestone year for the program, and the 25th class.”

Applicants who were not selected for this year’s class are encouraged to reapply in the future.

The Leadership program also includes two events open to the public: a one-day “Leadership 101” class on Wednesday, February 6, and a community lecture in March. Those unable to take part in the formal program are encouraged to attend. Tickets for these events will go on sale in early 2019.

The selection committee would like to extend their welcome to incoming members of Class 25, and congratulate the graduates of Class 24:

Converting our electricity to 100% renewable is a major part of our transition to become a carbon neutral community. Renewable electricity is created using technologies that don't burn any fossil fuels to create energy, such as water, wind or the sun. There are no associated greenhouse gas emissions with creating energy from renewables. We're confident that the future will be powered with renewables.

Approximately one-third of our community-wide carbon footprint comes from the electricity we use. Decarbonization means removing the carbon emitted from our energy sources. Transitioning to renewables is how we will decarbonize the energy that Park City uses.

In 2016, Park City made the decision to work with the local utility, Rocky Mountain Power, to work together to bring 100% renewable electricity to Park City. Salt Lake City, Summit County and Moab have joined the effort and in total we will convert eighteen percent of Utah’s electric grid to renewables. While Park City is a small community of only around 8,000 people, we believe we have the power to influence to create a pathway for other communities to transition to 100% renewables.

Not only does renewable energy emit drastically fewer carbon emissions as it produces electricity, it will transform Utah’s economy, produce jobs and provide stable electricity. It will also clean the air as we transition our homes, buildings, and transportation to fully electric. Renewables are becoming cheaper than fossil fuels. Renewable energy has plunged is price, and now is competitive, and often cheaper, when compared to traditional coal and natural gas generation. Renewable electricity often has zero cost fuel. The sun and wind don’t ever send a bill. Compare this to traditional coal and natural gas generation, where the fuel price can fluctuate. PacifiCorp, Rocky Mountain Power’s parent company, recently stated that thirteen of its twenty-two coal plants are uneconomic.

In addition, renewable energy keeps the dollars spent on energy close to home. Park City alone spends over $245 million per year on energy, much of which ends up in unstable or even corrupt regions of the world. Imagine if that money was spent on local jobs, benefiting our local economy?
