Jesse M. Soriano, director of the Hispanic/Latino Affairs Office under the Utah Office Of Ethnic Affairs, said he thinks it's "absolutely important" that governing bodies be ethnically diverse.
Having served on several committees and commissions himself, Soriano said he has seen his presence as a good reminder.
"Even though I'm the only minority, it changes the dynamics of that group and it reminds the other folks that there are other communities," Soriano said.
For more information on the Orem City candidates visit www.orem.org or www.southwestalliance.org. The city just posted a 2007 Voter Information Pamphlet on its Web site with information on each candidate.
