Scott Leedom, Public Affairs Director

Scott Leedom has been with Southwest Gas Corporation for six years, first joining the team as a Manager on the Public Affairs team. A little over two years later, in October 2018, Scott moved into his current role as Public Affairs Director, where he oversees Government Affairs, Community Affairs and Supplier Diversity functions in Arizona, California and Nevada. With a team of 14 professional staff throughout these states, the Public Affairs team is responsible for maintaining relationships with elected officials and community and industry leaders and oversees the company’s political giving and legislative strategies. With Scott’s leadership, the team is also responsible for developing and distributing over $1 million in corporate philanthropic contributions to nonprofit organizations each year.

Scott grew up in Las Vegas, attended Bonanza High School, and earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in 2006 from the University of Nevada Las Vegas. While earning his degree, Scott joined the Southern Nevada Water Authority as an intern, working his way up to Team Leader. He left the company for a year to join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Salt Lake City, UT as the Manager of Government Relations. Scott then returned to the Southern Nevada Water Authority as the organization’s Community and Government Affairs team and worked on federal, state and local government issues.


Scott and his wife of 17 years, Heather, have five children together.
