Pat Jones

Pat Jones is the Founder and CEO of The Women's Leadership Institute. 
Before serving at WLI, Pat co-founded Dan Jones & Associates, a successful public opinion and market research firm for 35 years; Jones is an experienced and highly-regarded researcher specializing in qualitative research, having conducted hundreds of focus groups nationwide.

Combined with her experience in business, Senator Jones served in the Utah Legislature for 14 years, serving in leadership positions for 12 of those years and serving as the first female leader in either party and in either House. 

Pat Jones’ interests are many, but she prefers to move rather than sit. She enjoys exercising, biking, skiing, playing pickleball and tennis, and watching sports (especially basketball and football). Her least favorite thing to do is to wait in long lines.

Patricia is married to Professor Joe Horton and has four children and 11 grandchildren.
