Appointed as a Trustee of UTA by the Governor of Utah in 2018, Holbrook strives to support state legislation focused on strategic development around transit stops as well as community input on Station Area Planning, both critical to addressing growth in Utah.

She was first elected to the Bountiful City Council in 2007 and has served on several boards including the Bountiful Power Commission, Planning Commission and the Utility Facility Review Board with the Public Service Commission.

Since being appointed to the UTA Board of Trustees, Trustee Holbrook has worked to increase community engagement throughout Davis, Weber, and Box Elder Counties. Her service on other local boards and committees includes the Governor-appointed Commission on Affordable Housing, the Utah Association of Special Districts (UASD), EDCUtah, Envision Utah, and as Chair of the Olene Walker Housing Loan Fund (OWHLF).
