Intermountain Growth Summit
The Intermountain Growth Summit, hosted by the Huntsman School entrepreneurship center, is the premiere forum for small and medium-sized enterprises—the often overlooked 99.9% of all businesses in the Intermountain West. The summit connects entrepreneurs, innovators, business owners, managers, and community leaders who want to expand their enterprises plus those supporting organizations that help facilitate growth in the community.
The 2021 summit also recognized six organizations for innovation and community development, as well as Camp Chef founder Ty Measom for his entrepreneurial leadership.
Pathfinder Award
Given to organizations that have shown innovation in managerial, marketing, or logistical strategy or operations that have resulted in a significant positive growth of the organization in the last 36 months.
Bedrock Award
Given to organizations that have made a determined effort to select or stay in Intermountain communities with an aim to support and grow the economies of those communities.
Touchstone Award
Given to organizations that have stood the test of time, building their organizations within, alongside, and to benefit their communities for multiple decades.
Beacon Award
Given to an individual that exemplifies and stands as a shining example of community-focused entrepreneurial spirit and leadership.
Even though we now live in a totally connected world and are part of the global economy, we still belong to a community of businesses, institutions, and people. Real value is found in supporting our communities in mutually beneficial ways. Mentoring, providing capital, and networking relationships that foster individual success, makes our communities a better place to live, work, and recreate.
