We have two strategic partners: the Downtown Alliance and World Trade Center Utah. Currently, we have formal partnerships with 28 other chambers of commerce and business associations.

broad-based business issues in the community and on the Hill.

An engaged business community is capable of accomplishing great things. We work earnestly to promote an exceptional statewide business climate and we could not do it without your help.
