We are not just sustaining Utah’s economic success; we are actively shaping a future where businesses can thrive, communities can flourish and individuals can achieve their highest aspirations.
Dear Business Leader,
The Salt Lake Chamber’s 2024-2025 Annual Report is an opportunity for reflection and evaluation. When looking back on this past year, we are filled with gratitude and respect, seeing all that the Utah business community has accomplished. This year has been one of significant achievement, collaboration and forward thinking, and we are committed to continuing that momentum. We witnessed the power of our collective voice during the legislative session, where the Chamber successfully advocated for policies that strengthen Utah’s competitive advantage while protecting the interests of our communities. Our efforts ensured that Utah remains a premier destination for enterprise and innovation, and a priority we will continue to advance.
This year’s “Giant in our City” event celebrated the uplifting and enriching impact that leaders in our community have had, and was a shining example of how businesses can play a vital role in transforming our communities. The Women & Business Conference and ATHENA Awards Luncheon was noteworthy, highlighting the incredible contributions of women leaders across our state and reinforcing our commitment to creating opportunities for growth and innovation for all members of our business community.
Utah Rising, our comprehensive vision for Utah’s economic future, continues to be at the forefront of our minds and all our efforts. This initiative represents more than a plan; it is a commitment to ensuring that as our state grows, we do so thoughtfully and with an eye toward longterm prosperity for all Utahns. Utah Rising will continue to guide our steps toward progress for Utah’s economy.
As we look toward the future, we see tremendous opportunity. The foundation we’ve built together — through advocacy, partnership and a shared commitment to excellence — positions us to meet whatever challenges and opportunities await. We are not just sustaining Utah’s economic success; we are actively shaping a future where businesses can thrive, communities can flourish and individuals can achieve their highest aspirations.
Thank you for your continued commitment to Utah’s growth and strength. We look forward to another year of achievement, collaboration and success alongside each of you.
Sincerely,
Derek B. Miller President & CEO
Jeremy Hafen Board Chair

With roots that date back to 1887, the Chamber stands as the voice of business, supports its members’ success and champions community prosperity.

*Does not represent full breadth of the Salt Lake Chamber
As Utah’s voice for business, the Salt Lake Chamber champions your interests at every level of government — federal, state and local. We work hand in hand with lawmakers, mayors, councils and our congressional delegation to ensure the business perspective shapes policy decisions. Through roundtables and direct engagement, we listen to your insights and advocate for a strong economy and thriving communities.
In September 2024, Salt Lake Chamber executives, along with business and community leaders, traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet with Utah’s Congressional Delegation and federal policymakers. Conversations centered on priorities ranging from immigration reform and fiscal responsibility to grid resiliency and permitting reform.
“Addressing the issues that impact business and our communities is what drives the Salt Lake Chamber and its members. Regulatory overreach, trade policies and housing affordability are just three of our priorities this year, but everything we are set to discuss is a focus to us, as each issue has a critical impact on our business and community members.”
– Derek Miller, President & CEO, Salt Lake Chamber
2024 Washington, D.C. Trip Attendees.
Each January, the Salt Lake Chamber and Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute at the University of Utah convenes the state’s top government and business leaders at the Utah Economic Outlook & Public Policy Summit. In 2025, we embraced the theme “Utah Rising” — focusing on the challenges and opportunities of our state to ensure ongoing success and sustainable growth. Additionally, Spencer P. Eccles led discussions with government and business leaders about Utah Rising, the free enterprise vision for Utah’s economy, and what the business community can expect in the next decade.
Affordable housing, transportation and infrastructure and workforce development emerged as top priorities. Over the 45day legislative session, the Chamber’s policy team worked tirelessly to advance solutions, testify in committee hearings and provide research to inform policy decisions.
“As Utah continues to grow, it becomes even more imperative for us to adapt and enact changes that navigate the complexities of expansion while forging sustainable paths forward. Legislative policies are a critical component of enabling that agility within our communities.”
– Mary Catherine Perry, Executive Vice President of Public Policy and Government Affairs, Salt Lake Chamber

Ahead of the 2024 General Election, the Salt Lake Chamber hosted its Meet the Candidates Virtual Forums, featuring the gubernatorial, congressional and other major races.
Unlike a traditional debate, the forums allowed Utah’s business leaders to hear directly from candidates in a one-onone setting. Each candidate was given equal time to respond to the same set of questions focused on long-term vision, economic priorities and policies impacting the business community.
By hosting these forums, the Chamber ensures members are equipped with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions in critical races. We serve as a nonpartisan resource, committed to connecting businesses with policymakers and spotlighting the issues that shape Utah’s future.
Informed business leaders strengthen Utah’s civic and economic fabric, ensuring policies reflect the priorities of employers, employees and communities statewide.
The Salt Lake Chamber closed the 2025 Legislative Session by honoring 77 legislators as “Legislative Business Champions” for their consistent support of policies that strengthen Utah’s economy. Two lawmakers earned “Legislator of the Year” honors:
Sen. Ann Millner – who is recognized for her passion for improving Utah’s education system and economic development specifically related to the state’s workforce preparation, public and higher education and affordable health care.
Rep. Tyler Clancy – who has combined compassion with his law enforcement experience to advance policies that address homelessness, enhance public safety and support workforce reentry.
Additionally, the “Member Business Legislative Champion” Award was presented to Erin Barry, vice president of government affairs for Merit Medical Systems, for her key role in advancing legislative initiatives that support economic growth and enhance community development.
“Our priority bills this year presented innovative solutions and approaches to advance important initiatives that would help drive economic prosperity and quality of life. Achieving a perfect passage rate is a tremendous reflection of the dedication and passion of our members, along with the strong support of Utah lawmakers. We look forward to continuing to work together to enhance Utah’s business community.”
– Derek Miller, President & CEO, Salt Lake Chamber
The Salt Lake Chamber equips businesses with the tools, training and insights they need to grow and succeed. From events and webinars to town halls and professional development programs, we provide resources that help you navigate challenges and seize opportunities. Our mission is to strengthen your business while fueling Utah’s overall economic vitality.
In 2024, the Salt Lake Chamber and Utah business leaders unveiled Utah Rising, the state’s first private-sector-led economic plan. The initiative identifies six focus areas and strategic goals designed to make Utah the top-performing economy in the nation ahead of the 2034 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
The plan emphasizes collaboration between private and public sectors to transform Utah’s economy into a national leader, ensuring lasting prosperity for businesses and families alike.
“The prosperity that Utah enjoys today is a result of civic and business leaders choosing to partner together, engage, invest and commit their time and resources into building up our great state. Utah Rising amplifies these qualities; the more our business community collaborates and commits to accomplishing the strategic goals, the more Utah will achieve leading up to 2034.”
– Spencer P. Eccles, Chair, Utah Rising Steering Committee
On July 9, 2025, the Salt Lake Chamber celebrated the graduation of the Leadership Utah Class of 2025, marking the culmination of a premier leadership development program for mid- and senior-level professionals. Participants broadened their networks, explored Utah’s key sectors — from arts and education to economic development and infrastructure — and deepened their engagement as future-focused leaders.

The guide provides actionable strategies tailored to businesses of all sizes, making flexibility achievable even for small businesses.

Whether through Business After Hours, ribbon cuttings, major initiatives like Utah Rising or signature events such as the Women and Business Conference & ATHENA Awards Luncheon or Giant in our City, we provide spaces where ideas are shared and partnerships are formed. Together, we strengthen both our business community and our state.
The 48th annual Women & Business Conference and ATHENA Awards Luncheon brought together professionals from across the community for a day of growth, connection and inspiration. The 2024 theme, I.L.L.U.M.I.N.A.T.E., highlighted leadership, learning, unity, motivation, innovation, networking, ambition, teamwork and empowerment.
During the luncheon, Dr. Donna Milavetz, Chief Medical Officer of Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Utah, received the prestigious ATHENA Leadership Award in recognition of her service, creativity and commitment to advancing women in leadership.

Conference highlights included keynote speaker Nicole Sherman, President & CEO of Riverview Bancorporation and Riverview Bank, who encouraged leaders to embrace authenticity in business and life, as well as breakout sessions on leadership lessons, personal branding and workplace mental health.
Breakout Session: “Navigating Feedback and Tough Conversations, Like a Pro!” with Jill
At the 46th Giant in our City celebration, the Salt Lake Chamber honored Lisa Eccles, president and COO of the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Foundation, for her extraordinary professional achievements and unmatched contributions to Utah’s nonprofit, cultural and civic life.
The Chamber also recognized Joseph Grenny, co-founder and board chairman of The Other Side Academy and The Other Side Village, with the Utah Community Builder Award for his dedication to transforming lives and addressing critical community needs.
The evening featured a performance by Loren Allred and William Joseph, floral artistry by Jeff Leatham and video tributes from business and community leaders across the state.
“Lisa Eccles’ legacy as an engaged, devoted philanthropist and leader can only be described as transformative for Utah’s community and culture. From the start of her career, she has been a champion for Utah’s nonprofit community while also enriching the state’s culture through advocating for education, the arts, health and wellness, social services, historic preservation and conservation. By honoring Lisa with this award, we are recognizing her tremendous impact and thanking her for her ongoing commitment to guiding Utah into a better future.”
– Derek Miller, President & CEO, Salt Lake Chamber
The Salt Lake Chamber’s Business Women’s Forum (BWF) continues to be a hub for connection and professional development. Through bi-monthly luncheons and mixers, BWF brings together women from across industries to network, learn and celebrate each other’s achievements. Each gathering features a local thought leader, interactive discussions and nonprofit spotlights, making it a place where authentic relationships are built and new ideas flourish.
Over the past year, BWF sessions tackled timely and inspiring themes — from redefining career development by embracing the whole self, to cultivating personal brands that resonate, to building strong communities and prioritizing wellness as a driver of business success. Members also explored how storytelling can humanize leadership and how aligning career choices with core values can unlock new opportunities. Together, these conversations have equipped participants with tools to thrive both personally and professionally, while strengthening the networks that power Utah’s business community.
The Salt Lake Chamber hosted the 2025 National Civics Bee® Utah State Finals, inspiring young Utahns to engage in civics and community service. Ten finalists advanced from local competitions to test their civics knowledge in Salt Lake City. Jake B. of Crimson Cliffs Middle School placed first, followed by Sophia C. of Mueller Park Junior High and Zoey M. of Hurricane Middle School. Jake will represent Utah at the National Championship in Washington, D.C., where prizes include a $100,000 college savings plan.
“These students represent our future business and community leaders. It’s inspiring to see them so engaged in civics at such a young age through the National Civics Bee competition. The rest of our country could learn from their example by gaining the knowledge and tools needed to make a difference in their own communities. We are proud of each participant and congratulate them on their achievements.”
– Judge Becki Wright, Founder & CEO, Proximity Campaigns
The Salt Lake Chamber is proud to be part of a broader family of organizations that strengthen Utah’s economy, community and future. While each has its own mission and vision, together they form an ecosystem of leadership and innovation that extends the Chamber’s reach. From advancing downtown vitality and statewide economic development to supporting entrepreneurs and tackling pressing community issues, these organizations bring unique expertise and measurable impact.
Here are some of their highlights from the past year — and ways to learn more about their work.
The Downtown Alliance is the Chamber’s partner in building a vibrant urban core that serves as the region’s center for culture, commerce and entertainment. Supported in part by a special assessment on downtown commercial properties, the Alliance represents more than 2,500 business and property owners committed to strengthening Salt Lake City’s downtown.
Impact Highlight: In 2024, downtown Salt Lake City welcomed nearly 21 million customer days — a 3.6% increase over the previous year. The Alliance also partnered with Mayor Erin Mendenhall to explore a public-private partnership to reimagine Pioneer Park, including a permanent home for the Downtown Farmers Market.
Founded in 1987, the Economic Development Corporation of Utah (EDCUtah) is a private nonprofit that catalyzes capital investment and strategic opportunities to create quality jobs across the state. Its vision is to build a prosperous and resilient economy for generations of aspiring Utahns.
Impact Highlight: In FY 2024–2025, every $1 of investment in EDCUtah generated $3,876 in Utah’s economy, reflecting the direct, indirect and induced financial impact of corporate expansion and relocation projects announced during the year.
Utah Community Builders, a program of the Salt Lake Chamber Foundation, engages businesses in addressing Utah’s most pressing challenges. By harnessing the innovation and efficiency of the private sector, it advances solutions that strengthen families, the workforce and the broader community.
Impact Highlight: In 2024, Utah Community Builders and the Salt Lake Chamber partnered with the Park City Chamber, Heber Valley Chamber and the Park City Community Foundation’s Early Childhood Alliance to launch the Best Place for Working Parents® initiative in Salt Lake, Summit and Wasatch Counties — helping local businesses earn recognition as family-friendly leaders.
