Chamber honors Salt Lake’s best small businesses
on March 22
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 2006 Small Business Awards.
The Small Business Awards honor small businesses for their growth, innovation and involvement. They are the most prestigious awards that the Chamber gives to small business. With 85 percent of its membership classified as small businesses, the Salt Lake Chamber is proud to support the success of small business in Utah. The Chamber’s Small Business Awards recognize that the dreams of entrepreneurs are the engine of business reality and business
success.
Keynote Speaker:
Ellis R.
Ivory, founder of Ivory Homes, began developing housing in Utah over 30 years ago. Ivory has completed hundreds of residential subdivisions with lots sold to individuals and Utah home builders. In 1983 Ivory started building homes in their own developments, and by 1988 Ivory had become number one among all Utah home builders. For 18 consecutive years Ivory Homes has earned the title of Utah's Number One Homebuilder.

The Salt Lake Chamber Small Business Awards had its origins in the Small Business of the Year award given by the Chamber beginning in 1987. In 1997 other categories were added and the awards were renamed the Giant Step Small Business Awards. This year the name “Giant Step” was dropped to end confusion with the Chamber’s “A Giant in our City” award.
