ATHENA LEADERSHIP AWARD RECIPIENTS
2025 ATHENA Award Recipient
Rosemary’s trailblazing energy, her commitment to community, and her passion to empower and inspire women. Rosemary was one of the first women admitted to the University of Notre Dame and the first woman to graduate from the OB/GYN specialty training at the Air Force’s medical center in San Antonio – demonstrating her determination to challenge the status quo and rise above expectations. Following her graduation, Rosemary was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Air Force, a role she embraced with the same spirit.
Rosemary’s dedication to public service is unwavering. Serving for 15 years in the Air Force in Germany and Texas, Rosemary and her family moved to Ogden where she established a successful practice as an obstetrician-gynecologist. She ran this practice for nearly 30 years before entering the Utah legislature as the representative for House District 10.
Rosemary demonstrates well-honed skills of quality leadership and management, adaptability, and belief in shared success – all acquired during her service in the military and applied during her time as House Representative to improve our communities and state.
Rosemary’s colleagues have recognized her ability to promote meaningful policies with a bipartisan support, selecting her to be a member of the Democratic caucus leadership team. She effectively uses her medical background to advocate for healthy families, healthy communities, and a healthy environment, demonstrating her influence and commitment to public health.
Rosemary is also proud to support many local organizations on marginalized communities, environmental stewardship, the arts, public health, and support for those affected by domestic violence.
