| Info | Deedee Corradini was born in Providence, Rhode Island, and grew up in Lebanon, Syria, and in the Eastern United States. She married John Huebner and had two children. Following service on the staffs of two Congressmen in Washington, D.C., she returned to Utah to raise her family. Corradini also worked for former Governor of Utah, Calvin L. Rampton. She became Salt Lake City's first female mayor in 1991, serving for two consecutive terms.
As Mayor, Corradini was instrumental in bringing the 2002 Winter Olympic Games to Salt Lake City, and spent her eight years in office preparing the city to host the games. Her highest priority was infrastructure development. Her efforts resulted in a commuter light-rail system and redevelopment of the downtown areas, specifically the Salt Lake City Library and the Gateway Center.
Corradini also returned Triple-A baseball to Salt Lake City by creating a public/private partnership for the construction of Franklin Covey Field. She served as president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, and has held a number of community service positions. She now lives in Greenville, South Carolina where she is a professor at Furman University and a consultant specializing in business and government relations and public affairs.
