Governor Gary Herbert became Utah’s 17th Governor on August 11th, 2009.

First Lady Jeanette Herbert has served on the Provo-Orem Chamber of Commerce as chair of the Partners in Education Committee. Jeanette also has a personal initiative called Uplift Families, which aims to promote good parenting skills and offers resources to parents throughout the state. The Herberts have been married for 45 years, and are the proud parents of 6 children (3 boys and 3 girls) and the very proud grandparents of 16 grandchildren.
