Hispanic Affairs director steps down after 14 months in Salt Lake City, Utah

“The state’s Office of Hispanic Affairs director is stepping down from his job, making it the second resignation among Utah Department of Community and Culture leaders in two months.

Leo Gonzalez, a 37-year-old Republican, officially resigned from his post Friday - after only 14 months on the job. His last day is May 26.

Gonzalez said he is giving up his governor-appointed position to be a “major partner” in “Diversity Talent Services,” a new recruiting company. He said his new job means more time with his family and a bigger paycheck. His annual salary with the state was between $50,000 and $55,000. “
