History
Originating in 2003, TEA of Utah was founded under the non-profit umbrella of the Utah Pride Center. From 2003-2006, TEA of Utah began transgender outreach and education, including sponsoring International Transgender Day of Remembrance in Utah. From 2006 to present, TEA of Utah, collaborating with local and national transgender and ally groups, has organized this event. In 2009, TEA of Utah formally separated from the Utah Pride Center and sought to receive their own non-profit status. It was granted in 2010.
TEA of Utah works to educate the public, advocate for LGBT community, and eliminate prejudice and discrimination.
In 2011, Connie Anast-Inman was selected as Executive Director of the organization. She served in this capacity until her resignation June 15, 2015, at which time she presented the reigns to the Board President, Candice Metzler, as the new Executive Director. Vice Chair Alex P. Miller became Board Chair until his death on October 22, 2015.
TEA of Utah consists of nine voting board members.
