Derek Miller, President of the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce is our guest on this week’s episode in our ACCE Chamber of the Year Finalist Series. Derek has been called “an architect of economic opportunity” and has been instrumental in developing Utah into one of the fastest growing economies in the United States.
The Salt Lake Chamber is a has the capitol city in its name, but is state wide in its reach, scope and mission. The Salt Lake Chamber celebrated its 130th anniversary last year and is one of only three organizations that pre-dates Utah’s statehood. The State of Utah is going on its 3rd year as the fastest growing economy in the United States and the fastest growing state population. The amazing quality of life that Utah offers its residents and businesses remain the focus of the Chamber.
One way the Salt Lake Chamber has created value for their Chamber was through the creation of Utah Community Builders, a foundation focused on local social issues. Through the work of the foundation the Salt Lake Chamber has been able to make a positive impact in the community, as well as change the conversation with businesses regarding their Chamber membership.
Intentional planning and hard work has made Utah into one of the fastest growing economies in America. Derek discusses how the Chamber’s partnership with local and federal government has contributed to the success as well as facing the challenges that come with a fast growing economy.
