In his three years in Salt Lake, Mitt Romney led a remarkable team that erased a $380 million budget deficit to achieve a balanced budget, helped organize 24,000 volunteers, galvanized community spirit, and oversaw an unprecedented security mobilization to ensure public safety. His professionalism, vision, and enthusiasm gave the world one of the most successful Olympic Winter Games in history. In doing so, he restored our pride in our state. He understood the greatness in our community and people, reminded us of it, and harnessed that tremendous potential.

If you are interested in joining the Chamber in thanking Mitt for a job well done, please contact the Chamber at 328.5050 or see us on the web at saltlakechamber.org.
