RE: Sister Cities Advisory Board Appointment Recommendation
Dear Mayor Mendenhall:
The Department of Economic Development would like to recommend Nicole Pessetto as a
reappointed voting member of the Sister Cities Advisory Board for an initial six year term.
Ms. Pessetto was an active member of the Sister Cities program prior to the bo ard's pause
during the pandemic. She is fluent in Italian, English, and some French, and was Salt Lake’s
liaison with our Sister City in Torino, Italy. Since 2004 she has been supporting the Italian
Center of the West in a public relations capacity – maintaining relationships, hosting lecture
series, and managing events with the local Italian community.
The Department believes Ms. Pessetto’s background and experience would be an asset in
strengthening the Sister Cities program and support her re -appointment to the Sister Cities
Advisory Board. Please find enclosed her application and resume and feel free to reach out if
you have any further questions.
Sincerely,
Katie Matheson
Marketing and Research Manager
Liaison to the Sister Cities Advisory Board
