Abby Cox

Abby Palmer Cox became the first lady of Utah when her husband Spencer J. Cox was sworn in as governor on January 4th, 2021. She and Gov. Cox have been married for 26 years and are the proud parents of 4 children. Born and raised in the small rural town of Mt. Pleasant, Utah, Abby graduated from North Sanpete High School and Snow College, then went on to earn her degree in Special Education with a dual emphasis in Early Childhood and Severe Disabilities at Utah State University. As Utah’s first lady, Abby inspires Utahns to break down the barriers that separate people and is an advocate for “getting proximate” and connecting through our differences. She uses her platform to champion educator wellness, statewide service, foster care support, and expanding access to Special Olympics Unified Sports teams in schools across the state. Together, these four pillars make up the First Lady’s impactful Show Up Initiative.

Chuck and Crystal Maggelet are seasoned entrepreneurs and executives. Chuck graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Electrical Engineering and went on to earn an MBA from Harvard Business School. Crystal holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Pepperdine University.  She completed her college education with an MBA from Harvard Business School and has Honorary Doctorates in Business from Utah State University and Weber State University. In 1993, Chuck and Crystal Call got married, and moved to Salt Lake City, shortly thereafter opening their first hotel, Crystal Inn.  Together, they grew the portfolio to 14 hotels.
