Business Awards Luncheon:
There are few decisions a person makes in life that rival starting a
business. Business owners often pledge all they own and dedicate all that they are to create and grow for business. It is in this spirit that the Salt Lake Chamber proudly announces the Small Business Awards.
This annual event celebrates the entrepreneurial spirit at the heart of small business, and will
pay tribute to four different success stories. The awards recognize growth, innovation, and community involvement.
