After years of serving her community in various capacities, Cheri was elected to the very first Millcreek City Council.  Since then, Cheri has been a force for good in the city. She is a readily available listening ear to her constituents and every Millcreek citizen.  She has spent countless hours in City Council and Community Council meetings, on city and state committees, in her duties as Millcreek Treasurer, and at numerous volunteer events -- and Cheri wants to continue to serve you!  That is why she is running for reelection as your District 3 City Council representative.         

History

Cheri was born and raised in Millcreek. She knows firsthand the beauty and opportunities to be found here and the warm sense of community we share. She has witnessed the growth of Millcreek from a neighborhood to a township to a city. Following her husband Romm’s military career, Cheri and Romm moved to Millcreek in 1995, where they raised their four sons.

Making a Difference

As her family grew, Cheri helped Millcreek grow, too—both individually and through various organizations. She was a founding board member of the Impact United Soccer Club and helped create and build the club. Cheri was instrumental in founding Canyon Rim Academy (a K-6 public charter school in Millcreek); she helped write the charter and secure approval from the State. Then, she served on the first Board of Trustees for Canyon Rim Academy. Additionally, Cheri has been active in the PTA and local scouting programs.

Willing to Serve

Following Millcreek residents’ vote to become an independent City in 2015, Cheri ran for City Council in District 3 and was elected to serve on the first city council in 2016. Working with the other city council members and many great volunteers in Millcreek, Cheri helped build the city from the ground up -- establishing policies and ordinances, hiring city staff, and managing a budget that at the time had no money whatsoever. This was an exhausting, time-consuming, amazing experience! Cheri has enjoyed being a part of starting a new city and representing her community in the process.

Representing Millcreek

Cheri serves as the Millcreek City Treasurer, is on the Millcreek Emergency Resilience Committee, the Utah 100 Communities (renewable energy program design committee), the Millcreek Promise Executive Committee, the Millcreek Miracle Business Committee, and is the liaison with the Millcreek Youth Council.  She has attended numerous meetings for the Canyon Rim, Millcreek, East Millcreek, and Mount Olympus Community councils. 

Education

Cheri graduated from Skyline High, earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Brigham Young University, and a Master of Public Administration from Utah Valley University.
