Ryan Newcomb, executive director of the Utah Pride Festival, is leaving the job he's held at the embattled LGBTQ+ nonprofit for just over six months.
Ryan Newcomb started last September, vowing ‘to restore trust’ after the nonprofit ran up a massive debt.
Couser did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday. Jackson Carter, director of the Utah Pride Center, also did not respond to a request for comment. In a note from Newcomb included with Couser’s letter, he wrote, “While I deeply regret that my health is requiring such a drastic change in my life, I am tremendously proud of our entire staff, board and volunteer team that led through the last six months of change and crisis. …
“There was so much press and effort put around the new about promises … and then this happens, right? And so, now we go back to square one again, and we’ve been doing this for 10 years,” he said.
