Panel Discussion/Presentation
Brent Brown was born in Newport Beach, California, and moved to Mapleton, Utah when he was six years old. He graduated from Brighton High School in 1977. Though he didn't attend college, Brent has been passionate about supporting education with significant contributions to UVU, Provo School District, and several other educational causes including his service on the Utah State Board of Regents.
Having spent his youth as a lead guitarist in a professional rock band, Brent opened for several large acts including ZZ Top, and doing a record. He then chose to serve a two-year mission in England for his church. Brent began his career in the auto dealership industry in 1984. By 1987, he was managing a group of auto dealerships and in 1992, became part owner of the Toyota dealership in Orem, Utah and ultimately became the sole owner of what is now known as Brent Brown Toyota in 1999.
The dealership was Utah's largest volume new car dealership in 2016, outselling every dealership of every brand. The dealership was also recognized in early 2017 for being the #1 Metro Toyota dealership in the United States in customer retention, Toyota's measure for loyal customers who purchase again and again from the same dealer. The dealership was also an eight-time winner of Toyota's prestigious President's Award, Toyota's highest recognition for a well-run, customer-focused dealership, and was voted "Utah County's Favorite New Car Dealer" in 2017 for the fourth year in a row by readers of Utah Valley Magazine.
Utah Women in Society – A Living Room Conversation
Panel Discussion/Presentation
The Utah Women & Leadership Project is partnering with Living Room Conversations for a unique 75-minute offering to Utahns as part of our celebration of Women’s History Month. Dr. Susan R. Madsen (Founding Director of the Utah Women & Leadership Project at Utah State University) will co-moderate this experience with Becca Kearl (Executive Director of Living Room Conversations) to provide space for anyone who joins to meet in small group to discuss women in the Utah society.
This experience is in a Zoom “meeting” format and there will be limited spots available. Living Room Conversations offer a simple, sociable and structured way to practice communicating across differences while building understanding and relationships. Zoom breakout rooms will be 4-6 people from much of the forum. This is an experience where you can be listened to and heard by others on this topic. Rather than debating or convincing others, you will take turns talking, sharing, learning, and being curious.
