This week, Michelle Beebe was announced as the new director of the Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA). She was selected by Wanda Stokes, director of the Talent Investment Agency, which oversees the UIA. Ms. Beebe will start her new role on May 8, 2017. She replaces Acting Assistant Deputy Director Bruce Noll, who will continue to work at the agency.

Prior to her appointment, Ms. Beebe has served as the director of Utah’s Unemployment Insurance Division since December 2014. She began working in the division in 2008.

Ms. Stokes announced the search for a new director in January as part of a three-point plan to make the UIA more effective, which also included improving all aspects of customer service and identifying improvements to the way the agency identifies and addresses fraud.
