The Utah Center for Legal Inclusion (UCLI) is pleased to welcome Yvette Donosso to its Fiduciary Board. Yvette has been practicing law for 25 years, specializing in family law and criminal defense. She has practiced in both state and federal courts in Utah, creating a deep connection to Utah’s Legal System.
Currently, Yvette serves on the Board of Trustees for Salt Lake Community College and remains actively engaged with organizations including the Utah State Bar and the Utah Minority Bar Association. Through this work, she continues to support diverse voices in the legal field, and help create pathways for broader participation and success.
Throughout her career, Yvette has been recognized for her leadership and impact, including receiving the Raymond Uno Award for Advancement of Minorities in the Law. Her work reflects a deep belief in building a legal community where opportunity is accessible to all.
Reflecting on joining the UCLI Board, Yvette shared: “As a Latina and first-generation college graduate, throughout my entire career I have strived to promote inclusion and fairness in the legal profession. Now more than ever, these goals are pivotal to under-represented communities in Utah. I have been a fan of UCLI from its inception and am honored to join its cause.”
We are honored to welcome Yvette to the UCLI Board and look forward to her contributions in strengthening a legal profession that is inclusive, representative, and supportive for everyone.
