Biographical Sketch

Meghan Zanolli Holbrook was born on October 12, 1949 in New York City and raised in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. She received an English degree from the University of Tennessee and moved to Utah in 1983 where she worked fundraising for and managing the affairs of several local Democratic gubernatorial, mayoral, and congressional campaigns. Holbrook was a member of the Clinton-Gore Steering Committee for the West, the Utah Delegate to the National Convention in 1996, and she was the fist woman elected to be the Utah Democratic Party Chair, a position she held for three terms from 1997 to 2003.

Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the chair of the Utah Air Travel Commission, and the bank's governmental affairs director of the Office of the President of Zions Bank. In 2012, Holbrook received the Eleanor Roosevelt Award from the Democratic Party for "exemplifying the high standards and sharing the compassionate philosophies of the former first lady."
