Leadership Utah

Leadership Utah, the Salt Lake Chamber’s signature leadership program, is an exclusive experience for mid-and upper-level management professionals to gain insight into the opportunities and challenges facing our state and at the same time become more engaged leaders. Over a year, the class of public and private sector participants will expand their network, hear from key community leaders and learn how they can best support our ever-changing society.

CURRICULUM

The program runs September through July and features ten monthly classes (8 a.m. – 5 p.m.), plus a graduation luncheon in July. Each area topic is examined in-depth by experts in that particular field. Participants will gain access to information that is not readily available through other sources.

TUITION

The fee for each participant that is accepted into Leadership Utah is $2,250 for members in good standing with the Salt Lake Chamber. The fee is to be paid in full prior to the first session.
