Meet the Board
Genevra Prothero
President & Chair
Genevra
Genevra has lived in Davis County for 27 years; she raised her two sons in Syracuse and is passionate about making Davis County a safe place for everyone. She has actively attended school board meetings for the Davis School District and for the Utah State Board of Education (USBE) advocating for LGBTQIA+ youth and LGBTQIA+ families. Genevra founded Davis County Pride in September 2021 when the school board decided to ban the Pride Flag. With the help of Planned Parenthood, GLSEN Northern UT, Carl Moore (Our Unsheltered Relatives), Murray Equity Utah, as well as Students, Parents and Community members, she hosted an event for students on October 14, 2021 followed by the very first Davis County Pride in April 2022. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her husband (Aaron) and her adult children, water coloring, reading, and going to concerts.

Jolene Mewing
Member
Jolene
Jolene believes in the power of many! One person can stand up for change, but when that number is multiplied by 1,000, we become a force that cannot be ignored. We are here to let our community know that no one is alone. We’re in this together. Jolene is grateful for those who came before–from Stonewall to Edie Windsor–people have risked everything to fight for the marginalized. We’ve come too far to watch the rights we’ve obtained get trampled by those who believe we should be silenced. Jolene knows we will not go quietly into the night. Jolene and her wife Colleen, were married in Utah when Judge Robert Shelby ruled Utah’s ban on same sex marriage was unconstitutional. They continue to fight for all the injustices surrounding their community so our youth won’t have to start from scratch. Davis County Pride is determined to make this a world in which our youth can exist without having to continuously pick up the torch where we left off.
