This is Lane Beattie of the Salt Lake Chamber with your Utah Business Report.
This Friday, a 24-hour virtual online fundraiser to help Utah's nonprofits will be in full swing! It's called Love Utah Give Utah. Leading up to the event, I'd like to take a minute to recognize a nonprofit organization you could donate to.
The Salt Lake Chamber Women's Business Center provides counseling, training, mentoring and networking services to entrepreneurs in order to increase their success and strengthen the economy. There is a focus on women, but men aren't excluded here.
In Utah, significant data suggests we have an even bigger opportunity to improve our local economy by focusing on women. Twenty-five percent of all businesses in the state are women-owned. Utah ranks in the top 15 for the fastest growing states for women-owned businesses. And Utah ranks fourth when it comes to growth in firm revenues.
Those statistics represent an enormous opportunity. The Women's Business Center helps to empower young entrepreneur's self-sufficiency and growth, which in turn helps the organization reach its vision of increasing success and strengthening Utah's economy.
So please consider supporting the Women's Business Center during the Love Utah Give Utah campaign this Friday, March 22nd. Learn more at s-l-chamber.com. This is Lane Beattie for KSL News Radio.
