"Hope is mandatory."

On this conference Sunday, KSL Newsradio's Amanda Dickson wanted to sit down with two women who are friends of this program to ask them something she hasn't asked them before - what role did faith play in your often challenging work in government? Her guests this week include Francine Gianni, former Executive Director of the Department of Commerce and Heather Barney, long time government and communications director.

You're used to hearing Amanda Dickson on the weekdays as the anchor of Utah's Morning News on KSL Newsradio. Now get to know her a little better as she takes on news, politics, education, health, family and more with her panel of fascinating Utah women.
