2021-2022 Annual Report

ANNUAL REPORT

Dear Business Leader,

The past year has seen its share of challenges both locally and globally, from supply chain disruptions to labor shortages and record inflation. Despite these economic headwinds, our community continues to excel by resolving to innovate and collaborate. Utah remains resilient and strong because of your commitment to being a force for good in the broader community.

For 135 years, the Salt Lake Chamber has been able to stand as the voice of business, support our members’ success and champion community prosperity. This mission guides us in everything we do and our pursuit of excellence in advocating policy, building business and connecting our community. And, thanks to your efforts and engagement we can accomplish this together.

To strengthen this focus, the Chamber recently created a new strategic plan to guide us in the coming years, including a vision statement and committable core values. That vision is to serve as Utah’s premier business leader by supporting statewide prosperity. The values that serve as the foundation of our efforts include:

• Member Centered – We exist to serve our members.

• Community Focused – We contribute to a flourishing community where all have the opportunity to thrive.

• Common Ground – We serve as a trusted information source and convenor of collaborative community partners.

• Free Enterprise – We extol and support America’s free enterprise system.

• Corporate Citizenship – We cultivate businesses as creators and stewards of the economic ecosystem.

In addition, the Chamber experienced another banner year for business policy during the 2022 Legislative Session, including advancing pro-prosperity policies and stopping bills that could have harmed your business. The Chamber worked to address housing affordability and workforce challenges, launched the Diversity & Inclusion Leadership Training Series, advanced Utah’s innovation ecosystem with the new WIN100 program, and much more.

This 2021-2022 Annual Report outlines our collective successes and provides a vision for a prosperous future. We hope you will review this report to better familiarize yourself with the full scope of Chamber programs and activities. Without you, none of the work we do would be possible. We are strong because of your participation and insight. We look forward to working together in the years ahead!

Sincerely,

ADVOCATE POLICY

First and foremost, the Salt Lake Chamber is an advocacy organization. We direct many of our resources into our advocacy for business at the federal, state and local levels, as we work with our legislature, governor, mayors, city councils and federal delegation.

This happens in several ways as we focus on specific issues and convene business round table discussions through our committees, task forces, and partners, all with the purpose to hear from members what is necessary to create a strong economy and prosperous community.

UTAH ECONOMIC OUTLOOK & PUBLIC POLICY SUMMIT

The Salt Lake Chamber presented the 2022 Public Policy Guide at the Utah Economic Outlook & Public Policy Summit on January 13, 2022. The theme for the guide was Utah’s New Economic Geography, and was focused on thinking ahead and preparing for growth.

The legislative priorities included in the guide were all about maximizing the upside of growth in ways that enhance opportunity and prosperity for all, while mitigating the downside of growth that risks our quality of life.

“With the legislative session and only 45 days to debate and pass legislation, it is crucial we focus our efforts on the state’s most pressing needs and future opportunities. I appreciated the chance to sit down with my colleagues to discuss many of these issues at the Salt Lake Chamber’s Economic Outlook and Public Policy Summit and know that as we work together among the public and private sectors, we will ensure Utah remains the best state to live, work, learn, and play.” - Speaker Brad Wilson

2022 LEGISLATIVE SESSION

Business Climate & Taxes

SB 59, Tax Amendments Sponsored by Sen. Dan McKay Offers a $193 million tax cut and provides an across-the-board tax cut and an earned income tax credit to support lower-income earners in Utah. The Chamber advocated for these tax cuts, especially the earned income portion as an anti-poverty mechanism to lift Utah families into the middle class.

HB 444, Income Tax Revisions Sponsored by Rep. Robert Spendlove Provides a pass-through tax allowance that lowers federal income taxes, and will lower the federal tax burden for many Utah business owners while not decreasing state tax revenue. The Chamber advocated for and led a coalition to support this legislation that effectively allows a business to avoid the federal tax deduction cap.

HB 35, Economic Development Modifications Sponsored by Rep. Stephen Handy Required the Unified Economic Opportunity Commission to identify targeted industries for economic development in the state, such as advanced manufacturing, life sciences, financial services, technology, and aerospace and defense, and modified the score of economic development tax credits (EDTIF). The Chamber supported this bill as it will provide more economic development support for rural communities.

SB 212, Manufacturing Modernization Grant Program Sponsored by Sen. Ann Millner Creates a manufacturing grant program under the Utah Office of Economic Opportunity with the purpose to establish, relocate, retain or develop manufacturing in the state. The Chamber supported this bill as part of our efforts to provide statewide, industry-specific technical and vocational training investments to include employer-led earn and learn opportunities. As manufacturing is expanding in our state, programs to enhance its development will create jobs and stabilize supply chains.

Water & Environment

HB 410, Great Salt Lake Watershed Enhancement Sponsored by Speaker Brad Wilson Creates a one-time appropriation toward expanding the Great Salt Lake watershed. The Chamber championed this bill as a key priority for the state’s future economic development efforts.

HB 242, Secondary Water Metering Amendments Sponsored by Rep. Val Peterson Addresses secondary water supplies that will require metering by 2030. The Chamber advocated for this bill to help mitigate the overuse of limited natural resources.

Education

HB 193, Full-Day Kindergarten Sponsored by Rep. Steve Waldrip Directs school districts to provide an optional all-day kindergarten program. The Chamber supported and endorsed this bill as it helps give parents options for returning to the workforce.

Overall Budget Lawmakers passed a 6% increase to per-pupil funding, and also approved $10 million to go toward teacher bonuses given the strain they faced with the omicron surge. Many educators stepped up and worked overtime to substitute, as well for colleagues, during the variant spike in this winter. These bills support the Chamber’s priorities for developing an educated workforce and supporting the education community.

Housing Affordability

SB 140, Housing and Transit Reinvestment Zone Amendments Sponsored by Sen. Wayne Harper Allows housing and transit reinvestment zones around light rail and bus rapid transit and sets limits to the number allowed. The Chamber prioritized this bill because it seeks to expand housing and transit reinvestment zones along light rail or bus rapid transit.

HB 462, Housing Affordability Amendments Sponsored by Rep. Steve Waldrip Requires municipalities to create moderate-income housing plans and creates a prioritization for the Transportation Investment Funding (TIF). The Chamber advocated for the successful passage of this legislation as housing is a critical problem for Utah.

Diversity & Inclusion

SB 216, Modifications to Drivers License Examinations Sponsored by Sen. Luz Escamilla Requires the Driver License Division to provide the examinations of a person’s knowledge of the state traffic laws in the top five languages spoken in the state. The Chamber supported efforts to help refugees and new Utah residents ability to pass a driver’s license test in their native language.

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION LEADERSHIP TRAINING SERIES

The Salt Lake Chamber’s Diversity & Inclusion Leadership Training Series, sponsored by sustaining partners Semnani Family Foundation and Zions Bank, was developed to provide newly designated or seasoned professionals in the field of Diversity and Inclusion access to thought leadership and program development.

Inaugural cohort attendees learned from experts the business case for implementing a diversity and inclusion program. This training helped participants develop a diversity and inclusion playbook for their team, company or industry sector and infuse these strategies into their respective cultures. Implementing the strategy and tactics from the training also built unity and relationships across organizations as they interact with other cohort attendees.

This program sets up these smaller businesses for success by providing the necessary tools, resources and training, as well as giving best practices to make a significant impact on diversity and inclusion in Utah.

“They are committed to championing change within our communities and putting what they have learned into action at their organizations. The Chamber is honored to work with these talented leaders as they promote diversity and inclusion as a core value for business across our state.” - Derek Miller, President & CEO, Salt Lake Chamber

We congratulate this year’s top large and small teams for their dedication to our community and recognize their willingness to change habits and make this issue a priority.”

UTAH’S BUSINESS DIVERSITY SUMMIT

On November 4, 2021, the Salt Lake Chamber and the State of Utah hosted the inaugural Utah’s Business Diversity Summit, part of the One Utah Summit Series, to engage business and community leaders in efforts to create more diverse and inclusive workplaces. It was the first diversity summit of its kind in the state of Utah to discuss diversity and inclusion where the primary focus was from a business perspective.

Utah’s Business Diversity Summit had several keynote speakers, breakout sessions, and resources available and targeted toward businesses with well-developed Diversity and Inclusion programs, as well as those businesses without current efforts but who want to engage.

Global Diversity and Inclusion leader, Dr. Tony Byers, provided the opening keynote address and discussed how to build an inclusive culture through a breakthrough behavioral approach that overcomes biases and creates buy-in. In addition to sharing how to set in motion a multiplier effect of inclusion that more than doubles employee productivity while positively impacting every aspect of an organization.

The afternoon keynote address was provided by NAACP President & CEO Derrick Johnson and Scott Anderson, President & CEO, Zions Bank. They discussed why diversity and inclusion programs are critical to success in organizations and communities. As well as highlighting how corporations can advance positive social and political change, particularly concrete steps to promote diversity and benefit from successful efforts at inclusion.

“While we still have miles to go, I believe we are moving in the right direction. With this inaugural event, we have the opportunity to have a collective experience and learn how to champion diversity and inclusion together, as well as have a launch point from which we can sail toward a more inclusive future.” - Derek Miller, President & CEO, Salt Lake Chamber

• Debuted three new mental health resource guides in May 2022 for construction, legal and hospitality industries. Each guide has industry-specific data, best practices and actionable steps.

• Launched Family Friendly Work in July 2022, a new initiative that will equip businesses with actionable data and best practices to support working parents and be more family friendly in recruitment, retention and management. This initiative commissioned a working parent survey from the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute, that will give insights into the needs and preferences of Utah’s working families, helping business leaders and policy makers better understand what Utahns need to better balance work with taking care of their children.

“We know that prevention works and treatment is effective. Together we can make a difference by creating safe and supportive work environments for our employees, and prioritizing their mental health. We can do this by fostering environments that promote acceptance, respect, healing, and recovery.” - Allison Foust, Suicide Prevention Program Administrator, Utah Department of Health and Human Services and CoChair, Utah Suicide Prevention Coalition

Chamber President & CEO Derek Miller speaks at the Live On press conference unveiling of a new suicide prevention and mental health campaign.

WASATCH INNOVATION NETWORK

The Wasatch Innovation Network (WIN), a partnership between the Salt Lake Chamber and TechBuzz News, recognized the inaugural cohort of the WIN100, a community-nominated and peer-selected process of the top 100 venture entrepreneurs in Utah. Sponsored by the top venture firms in the region, WIN100 is designed to help identify and cultivate relationships among emerging and top founders, CEOs, CTOs and ventures with ties to the state.

The WIN100 was created to give entrepreneurs the ability to share, collaborate and partner to maximize the chance of success. The WIN100 aims to:

• Increase visibility and collaboration amongst Utah’s top venture entrepreneurs;

• Increase networking and dialogue with peers and partner organizations;

• Raise the profile of talented individuals across the broader business ecosystem and particularly among investors;

• Create a unique, self-directed community; and,

• Elevate the community-minded culture of Utah’s startup ecosystem.

“We believe this new group of business leaders will make an impact in terms of innovation, products and business creation in the near future. The success of our entrepreneurial community in Utah is not a given, but one we have long worked to build and sustain with capital and services. The WIN100 will be bolstered by our growing ecosystem and receive the necessary support to make sure they succeed in growing the next generation of impactful Utah companies.” - Paul Ahlstrom, Co-founder of TechBuzz News and Board Chair, Wasatch Innovation Network

The idea of the WIN100 is based on the premise that the crowd would successfully identify the innovators and entrepreneurs that were “most likely to create a high growth company” in Utah. The first round included nominations from the community and were accepted from March 21, 2022, to April 4, 2022. Responses were used to assemble a list of candidate nominees. During the second round, nominated candidates voted for their peers based on who they believe is “most likely to launch or lead a successful high-growth startup in the next 2–3 years as Founder/CEO/ CTO.” This round of peer voting determined the WIN100 Top Entrepreneurs for 2022. Because of a tie, ultimately, 107 candidates were selected as the core group.
