The heart of any employee organization is membership growth and sustainability. The Utah Public Employees Association (UPEA) is no different. Public employees who needed a voice established UPEA as a grassroots organization, and the Association continues to operate today under the guidance and leadership of outstanding members.
We are so grateful to our members who help us grow our organization and affect change at the Legislature. Since June 2017, UPEA has added 407 new members.
