Jenna Draper was born and raised in rural Utah, taking advantage of available opportunities that enabled her to graduate with an Associates Degree from Snow College before she graduated from high school.  She went on to obtain her Bachelor's Degree from Utah State University, advancing her career and briefly moving to Maine before settling down back home. 

With a proven track record of success as the Executive Director of the Richfield Area Chamber of Commerce, Jenna went on to serve as the Economic Development Coordinator for the Six County Association of Governments over the past three years. In this role, she assumed the responsibilities of Economic Development Director for Wayne, Sanpete, and Piute Counties, while also providing support for directors in Sevier, Juab, and Millard counties. Her efforts were instrumental in promoting sustainable economic growth, attracting investment, and creating job opportunities for residents.

Jenna's main goal in driving economic growth is ensuring her children have the option to move back home and raise their families.  She believes that rural Utah's most valuable export is our children, but by increasing educational and job opportunities in high-wage sectors she hopes future generations can choose to stay close to home.  She and her husband John raised their five children in Sevier County, fulfilling her parents' wish for everyone to live close enough to stop by Nana and Papa's whenever they wanted.
