Leader's Biography 2009: JUDI HILMAN, Executive Director, Utah Health Policy Project, Salt Lake City, Utah As a passionate and gifted community organizer, Judi Hilman has engaged a wide range of Utah residents in a variety of advocacy campaigns. From low-income persons and persons with disabilities, to small business owners, Hilman empowers those around her to use their voices to advocate for justice. Hilman leads the Utah Health Policy Project (UHPP), founded in 2006 to assure quality, affordable, comprehensive health care coverage for all Utah residents through research, policy advocacy and civic participation activities. Though UHPP is not designed to provide direct services, the agency receives multiple calls per month which are filtered through a safety net with the help of a resource guide that Hilman created. Today, UHPP helps hundreds of individuals each month learn about health policy issues and solutions, the policymaking process and how they can play a role.
