Victor Iverson was elected to the Washington County Commission in 2014. As part of his commission assignment he serves on the Board of Southwest Public Health, Southwest Behavioral Health and Five County Association of Governments. Commissioner Iverson serves as First-vice President of the Utah Association of Counties, and co-chairs the Utah Counties Sub-Committee on Inter-Generational Poverty (IGP), that reports to the State Welfare Reform Commission, chaired by Lieutenant Governor Spencer Cox.
 
In 2016 Commissioner Iverson was asked by Lieutenant Governor Spencer Cox to form a Washington County IGP committee to write a plan to help address the high levels of inter-generational poverty in Washington County. He resides as co-chair of that Committee that works in a collaborative effort to reduce poverty and replace it with prosperity.
 
Commissioner Iverson and his Wife Audrey Johnson are both natives to Washington County where they chose to raise their 5 kids. His roots are deep in the county which stems from a long line of ranchers and builders. He is a graduate of Hurricane High School, Dixie College and Southern Utah University, and has spent years in the construction trades as a small business owner.
 
Prior to his election to the County Commission, he worked for U.S. Senator Mike Lee as the Natural Resource Advisor for the State of Utah. While natural resource issues and public lands issues are his strong point in public policy, he feels he has received the call to work to improve the economic condition of Washington County. He believes the natural beauty of our county is only matched by the goodness of our people.

In an effort to help members better understand county issues, the St. George Area Chamber of Commerce is hosting the Washington County Commission in a breakfast forum. Washington County Commissioners are Dean Cox, Victor Iverson and Zachary Renstrom.
 
The event will be held at 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday, May 17 in the SelectHealth Auditorium, 1424 E. Foremaster Drive. Intermountain Healthcare sponsors the breakfast and the general public is invited to attend.

Michelle Delloso has spent most of her career in the sports marketing industry and has created many “aspiration” programs that directly impact girls and women to include Dare 2 Dream (TC Sports®), Do You Have the Power to Dream? (Louisville Slugger®), adidas Futures (adidas®), and most recently, the Go Girl Futures Program®. She is also the founder of the Rim to Rim Club® of the Grand Canyon and she has worked for key brands to include Nike®, adidas®, and Louisville Slugger®.

Michelle competed in six different sports throughout her high school (Quakertown) and travel ball career to include cross country, volleyball, soccer, tennis, basketball, and softball. She earned numerous awards in tennis and softball and was named best all-around female athlete her senior year. In the summer of 1987, she decided to focus solely on the sport that tugged at her heart the most. Her relentless determination and work ethic earned her a softball scholarship to the University of South Carolina later that summer.

During her four years at USC, she became a three-time NCAA All-American in softball, NCAA Women’s College World Series player, NSCA All-American, ASA All-American, Olympic Festival Gold Medalist, and ASA National Champion, as well as a four-time All-Region selection, Honda-Broderick Cup Nominee and was named team captain three of her four collegiate years. She set the all-time record for a female athlete during the annual weight lifting competition at USC by squatting 340 lbs. in addition to running a 5:20 mile that same year. She is a proponent of athletes competing in more than one sport when they are younger and all athletes cross training to become the best athletes they can be.

Michelle went on to become a professional baseball player for the Colorado Silver Bullets. This inaugural team has been showcased in the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, NY as the first professional women’s baseball team to compete against the men.  She also played women’s professional softball and has been inducted into the National Softball Association Hall of Fame and is also the first women’s softball player to have her name on a bat (Louisville Slugger®), as well as the first female baseball/softball player to sign an endorsement contract with Nike®.

She has been a keynote speaker at many events, including Corporate Sales Meetings, National Tournaments, WCWS events, NFCA All-American high school and college banquets, Camps and Clinics, Nike® P.L.A.Y. events via Boys and Girls Clubs, adidas Futures events, as well as various sporting events, school presentations and assemblies. The largest group she had the pleasure of speaking to was 10,000 girls at the NSA World Series. Michelle’s mission is to inspire, motivate, and build confidence in girls and women by encouraging and promoting participation in sports and outdoor activities. Michelle was recently inducted into the Quakertown-Pennridge Sports Hall of Fame in 2016 and the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame – Bucks County in 2017.

Professionally, Michelle runs her own consulting firm (Red Rock Consultants, LLC), her own empowerment program for girls and women (Go Girl Futures Program® & Go Girl® Retreats) and has recently authored and self-published the book Brand-Loyal to share her story.
