The Southern Utah Community Impact Summit will ignite and inspire Southern Utah to actively work together to improve the local community. This full-day event will feature interactive educational programs, peer-to-peer networking and success sharing; the Community Impact Challenge and Exposition (Prizes Are: $1,000 and $2,500), panel discussion and first ever Community Impact Awards Ceremony.
Collaboration is critical to eliminating unneeded duplicate services, to stretch limited resources, and to expand effective programs that foster improved quality of life for Southern Utah residents. Understanding how we can develop mutually beneficial partnerships together strikes at the heart and purpose of the Southern Utah Community Impact Summit.
