SALT LAKE CHAMBER MEMBER GUIDE

The Salt Lake Chamber would not exist without the dedication and support of community and business leaders. With a history that dates back to 1887, our presence has never been larger or more impactful.

An engaged business community is capable of accomplishing great things. Collaborating as a team with our strategic partners, the Downtown Alliance and World Trade Center Utah, we have developed and fortified one of the strongest economies in the nation.

We will continue working earnestly to promote an exceptional statewide business climate, but we cannot do it without your help.

We look forward to working together to help your business thrive in future membership with the Salt Lake Chamber.

WOMEN’S BUSINESS CENTER The Salt Lake Chamber Women’s Business Center (WBC) is one of a national network of nearly 100 centers supported by the US Small Business Administration (SBA) and is “designed to assist women in starting and growing small businesses.” However, unlike many other centers, the WBC operates as a separate nonprofit organization within the Salt Lake Chamber, allowing it access to a unique set of tools and resources to aid entrepreneurs.

The WBC provides a platform of business development and job creation in Utah by delivering quality and applicable entrepreneurial consulting, professional training and premier networking opportunities.

One-On-One Business Consultation Business Essentials Training and Seminars Networking Events and Mentoring Opportunities As I have looked for meaningful opportunities to develop professionally and build my community, one institution has stood apart - the Salt Lake Chamber. Without question, the Chamber is Utah’s Business Leader. As I have seen for myself by becoming involved, the Chamber's broad influence literally shapes the state’s business climate. The Chamber also puts on more than 150 events each year to educate and inspire its nearly 8,000 member businesses. If companies are looking to grow, develop their employees and be strong corporate citizens, they must be a part of the Chamber.
