New Pioneers - American Dream Award Program 2018




ONLINE REGISTRATION CLOSED.  Additional seats available at the door.

Join the Salt Lake Chamber as we recognize the important contributions immigrants make every day in Utah at the American Dream Award Program.
 
This program helps remind us about the positive impact of immigrants and how they have helped shape Utah's history since the Mormon Pioneers entered the Salt Lake Valley as refugees in 1847. That shared cultural memory informs our values and beliefs today.
 
This award honors that legacy by recognizing new pioneers who contribute to our state.
