Nominate

President

Tina Hart

A Principal with Logan Simpson in Salt Lake City, has more than 25 years of experience working in cultural resource management across the Southwest and Great Basin. Her career has focused on practical problem-solving, collaboration, and supporting high professional standards in archaeology. Tina’s hands-on approach to leadership is reflected in her work as Chair of the UPAC Tribal Relations Committee, where she helped organize the 2025 Winter Meeting keynote symposium and led the creation of UPAC’s first Native American scholarship. As a candidate for President of the Utah Professional Archaeological Council, Tina wants to focus on action—strengthening UPAC’s ability to serve its members, advocate for the profession, and meaningfully advance the organization’s mission and goals. She believes UPAC should be an active, responsive, and credible voice for professional archaeology in Utah, and she is committed to helping the organization deliver meaningful results.

Vice President of Membership and Ethics

Jessica DelBozque

Hello! My name is Jessica DelBozque, and I am running for VP of Membership and Ethics. I have been a professional archaeologist for the last (nearly) 16 years and am currently a Project Archaeologist / Principal Investigator at Eocene Environmental Group. I am a remote employee and share a home office with a delightful 12-year-old corgi, Lucy. I grew up in western Oregon, graduating with a BA in Anthropology from Oregon State University in 2010 and moving out to Utah the following year. Since 2011, I have primarily worked in Utah and have kept a home base in the eastern part of the state. I’ve spent most of my Utah years in Moab but have been based in Price since 2023. I previously served on the UPAC Executive Committee as the Secretary from 2019-2021. I dove from that experience immediately into graduate school, completing an MA in CRM from Adams State University in 2024. After recovering from that experience, I became a Utah Cultural Site Stewardship Program volunteer in May 2025. The Utah archaeological community is the best and I am so grateful I have been able to build my career in this amazing state. I would be honored to serve on the Executive Committee again and give back to the community in this way if elected.

Treasurer

Brandy Webster

My name is Brandy Webster and I am running for the UPAC Treasurer position. Since receiving my BS in Anthropology from the University of Utah in 2023, I have had the opportunity to work in the public and private sectors of cultural resource management. I have been working for Logan Simpson for the past year where I perform extensive Class I research, data management, serve as a field crew member, and sit on one of the committees for the Salt Lake Office. Previously, I was an archaeological technician for the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest where I was tasked with the organization and management of multiple digital and analog databases. I also conducted archaeological fieldwork, site documentation, eligibility determinations for cultural resources, and worked collaboratively on public heritage initiatives. My research interests include Great Basin archaeology, advancing public engagement in cultural resources, historic archaeology, and the intersection of environmental change and human adaptation. I am committed to ethical stewardship and collaborative preservation. I enjoy hiking, reading, and volunteering with a diverse portfolio of communities.
