Here’s a Chamber History Fact: In 1999 the Salt Lake Chamber hired me, Larry Mankin, as the new president of the Salt Lake Chamber. I had been the Kalamazoo, Michigan Chamber President, but fell in love with Salt Lake when I came for a visit. Working with the Salt Lake Chamber, especially the hundreds of volunteers, is the best job in the world.
