Karen Frost 2010 Chamber President

We have new programs and many events coming this year. Our webpage is a wonderful resource for the specific dates for events. Each of our events is headed by co-Chairs from our Board of Directors and the committees are comprised of volunteers from the business community. We are pleased to offer our members some outstanding resources through Chamber Nation. Each of our members will have the opportunity to have a web-page at no cost as well as other valuable business tools. The power and potential of this program is incredible. We have Noon Networking each first Wednesday at noon where businesses have the opportunity to meet with one and other and strengthen their ties. We have quarterly meetings where we invite speakers who have information for our community to come. Last year we had Governor Gary Herbert, Senator Bob Bennett, and Attorney Mark Shurtleff.
We are committed to strengthening our relationships with our current members and offering membership opportunities to all businesses within our communities.
