Remember:
What is the point of going somewhere if when you get there it isn’t there anymore…
Thank you for all your support. Everyone has been really terrific. Continue to get the issues out there and talk about them. We need to make sure everyone is aware of what is going on in our little town before voting on Nov. 3.
Let’s keep working hard to maintain Centerville’s small town feel.

Volunteer Work

Community Service

Some of you have asked why I am so passionate about the community service that I give. Simply put, this is the way I was raised by action and word. I was taught that to be a Patriotic American you need to GIVE,GIVE,GIVE. I come from a family of volunteers, including my great grandfather who was a volunteer school board superintendent for 35 years. I have tried to meet those expectations every day. I am passionate about the Museum because I feel it is important to preserve this important aspect of our history so that we can use it as a teaching tool for future generations to learn from. The Museum has a special story to tell about Centerville’s home industry which made this community a sustainable community. The Museum is housed in the historic Whitaker home, of which our City has been fortunate to have had the opportunity to preserve this home on Main Street. No other building in the State of Utah has as intriguing a story to tell as the Whitaker home. The history of early Centerville is ingrained in it's walls. This history tells of a town becoming self-sustaining. It is an emblem of sacrifices, hardships and joys that took place long ago, of which if we embrace we can create a more cohesive community for ourselves. By volunteering and learning this history we link the generations together.

My Qualifications

I am Melissa Hogan and am passionate about Centerville. I have lived here for 13 years and have spent the last 12 years volunteering for our community. I am an advocate for a more sustainable growth rate, community green space, traffic management, heritage protection and owner’s property/water rights. I can bring to the city council long-range plans to bringing prudent financial management practices, rigorous planning, accountability and responsibility to the forefront. I am committed to: celebrate, protect and strengthen our community. Centerville’s most important asset is its people. I believe a councilmember is a spokesman for the people. A councilmember must be approachable about decisions that affect them, well informed about issues and make deliberate, wise representative decisions. We must plan with a long-term vision, preserve what is valuable in our heritage, and promote change for the benefit of families today. I am married to Stewart and we are the parents of Brittany, Haley, Kaleb and Abigail. I have a Bachelors of Science from Utah State University and an Associates from Snow College; Member /National Trust Foundation, Member/Utah Museum Association, Member /Daughters of the Utah Pioneers, Board member /South Davis Regional Museum and Director /Centerville Museum.
