Ally Isom

Ally Isom knows words have power, so she helps people feel the power of The Word. Ally is director of Institutional Messaging for the LDS Church, with responsibilities for integrated communications and global brand strategy. Her previous Public Affairs
portfolio included women’s outreach, addressing the vestiges of racial folklore, and supporting leaders and managing the team who developed MormonAndGay.LDS.org.

With a background in communications, policy and politics, Ally was deputy chief of staff, communications director and spokesperson for Utah’s governor, a state agency administrator and a legislative liaison. She started in politics by running political campaigns between babies.

Ally graduated from BYU-Provo, having married an Idaho farm boy following her freshman year. After 27 years, they have two daughters, two sons, one granddaughter and two not entirely smart Labrador Retrievers. When she finds free time, Ally enjoys historical fiction, preferably on a beach, and mole poblano, pretty much anywhere.
