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.
A Message From Leadership
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

Taking Utah’s Voice to Washington, D.C.
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.”

Setting the Agenda in Utah
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.”

Candidate Forums: Engaging in Utah’s Future
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.
Why It Matters
Informed business leaders strengthen Utah’s civic and economic fabric, ensuring policies reflect the priorities of employers, employees and communities statewide.

Recognizing Business-Friendly Leadership
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.”

Utah Rising: Building a Statewide Vision for Prosperity
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.”

A Year of Learning, Leading and Lifting Each Other
The Salt Lake Chamber’s Business Women’s Forum (BWF) continues to be a hub for connection and professional development.

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.

Cultivating the Next Generation of Engaged Citizens
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 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.”
