Executive Board Chair Message

By 2065, Utah County will add 1 million people to its population, with an estimated 85 percent of that increase coming from internal growth. With that enormous growth comes both challenges and opportunities.

As chair of the Executive Board of the Utah Valley Chamber of Commerce, I am excited to see the Chamber driving and initiating partnerships with businesses both large and small. Together, we will address the complexities growth will create in our county both now and into the future.

The Utah Valley Chamber, as a regional organization, is in a unique position to serve as a place for innovation and collaboration. Our Chamber brings together key influencers to facilitate pro-business policy and act as a representative for business interests in our community. We highlight, encourage and support the countless leaders in our community who are working to develop a flourishing environment for growth.

The Chamber also connects businesses with other stakeholders in the community — nonprofits, educational institutions, faith-based groups, healthcare providers, government and more — so all can work toward building a future where our children have opportunities to work, live and play in our beautiful valley.

This magazine is part of our effort to connect with people throughout the community and let them know about the many activities and initiatives of the Chamber as well as how the Chamber can help their business or organization thrive. It also describes the Chamber’s work to achieve the vision for Utah County set out in the two-year Valley Visioning process.

We encourage you to read about our efforts and support the advertisers who have made this magazine possible.

Through strategic and thoughtful planning now, we will be able to meet the challenges of intense growth and become a stronger, even more vibrant community. We invite all to join us as we look toward a bright and prosperous future.
