ChamberWest Communication - Exciting Events & Key Updates - February at ChamberWest!

Dear ChamberWest Members,
Good morning! As we enter a new month, we’re filled with gratitude for your ongoing involvement and excited about the many opportunities ahead. Whether you aim to broaden your network, advance your professional growth, or stay informed on legislative matters, our February lineup is designed to support you and your business.
At the end of January, we hosted our Annual Membership Breakfast to ratify the new slate of officers and board members. We reflected on 2024 highlights, shared future goals for 2025, and provided committee updates. Please join me in congratulating:
- Ryan D. Nelson as the new Chair of the Board
- Nick Markosian as the new Vice Chair of the Board
- Nathanael Budge as Past Chair
- Kim Gilbert continuing as Treasurer.
Our Legislative Affairs Committee is fully engaged, meeting with legislators at the Utah State Capitol on Monday mornings and locally on Thursday mornings. If you have any concerns or perspectives regarding proposed legislation, please reach out so we can effectively advocate for your interests. You can also access our 2025 Bill Tracker and other resources at https://www.chamberwest.com/legislative-affairs/
