What is a Coordinator of Resource Stewardship?
As Coordinator of Resource Stewardship it is my job, and privilege, to work alongside state agencies in order to further promote partnership and relationship both within and outside state government to develop air quality best practices for the State of Utah.

Our Purpose
The Coordinator of Resource Stewardship position was created in statute and made effective in 2016.

The statute (Utah Code Title 63A, Chapter 1, Section 116) creating the position specifically outlines the roles of the CRS:
