A Gentle Thief

Need a recommendation for a good book? Here are three!

Need a good read? Here are three recommendations from Amanda Dickson's guests on A Woman's View: "Two Old Women" is an Alaskan legend about two old women who were abandoned by their tribe. "The Tree at the Center" is a book of poetry by an up and comer that sounds wonderful. "A Passage to India" is a wonderful classic from the 60's that speaks to many modern issues when three people from England come to India and are shocked when they cannot befriend the Indian people because of race. Amanda's guests this week are: Pamela Atkinson, a community advocate and advisor to Governor Gary Herbert; Liz Sollis, the marketing and communications manager of the Salt Lake County Library; and Jean Millar, the executive director of the Women and Newborns Clinical Program at Intermountain Healthcare.

Why should we care about the Inland Port? Think of the power of supply chains

Why should we care about the Inland Port? Think about it this way - we are smack dab in the middle of the United States in terms of shipping. We have a brand new airport and wonderful rail line. We live in an age where we're moving from retail to fulfillment, and if we have an inland port we become a key part of the supply chain. The reason there have been so many problems is we've done it in the wrong order. We did the politics first instead of the research, but it can be fixed. Amanda Dickson's guests explain. What a powerful lineup this week on A Woman's View - Natalie Gochnour is the Associate Dean of the David Eccles School of Business at the University of Utah. Dr. Susan Madsen is a professor of leadership and ethics at Utah Valley University and the director of the Utah Women and Leadership Project, and Lisa Walker is a certified athletic trainer and teacher at Springville High School.
