Community Support and Mission
The series, which provides a platform for various organizations to discuss their impact, featured Family Promise Salt Lake in its most recent broadcast on September 16, 2026. The program serves as a medium for local entities to communicate their roles in strengthening the social fabric of the region.
Supporting Small Business Growth
In a previous installment of the series on August 18, 2026, America First Credit Union was featured to discuss its commitment to Utah's small business sector. During that segment, Kimberli Green, the Vice President of Business Development at America First Credit Union, emphasized that business owners require reliable financial partners to navigate various stages of development.
Financial Partnership and Economic Impact
Green noted during the August 18, 2026, presentation that America First Credit Union assists businesses through every phase of their lifecycle, from the initial startup stage to scaling up operations. The credit union serves as one of the region's top Small Business Administration (SBA) lenders, offering financing, expert guidance, and practical solutions intended to allow owners to focus on business growth rather than financial management.
Community and Economic Contributions
The credit union reported serving more than 100,000 business members. According to the Salt Lake Chamber's August 18, 2026, feature, the organization aims to support the local community through charitable giving, volunteer service, and various partnerships that assist families and nonprofits throughout the state of Utah.
The Role of Small Business
Derek Miller, representing the Salt Lake Chamber, noted during the August 18, 2026, segment that small businesses act as the backbone of the Utah economy. Miller stated that these businesses create jobs, strengthen local neighborhoods, and transform innovative ideas into successful companies, contributing to the long-term prosperity of the state's economy.
Ongoing Series Programming
The Speaking on Business series continues to profile organizations such as United Healthcare and Family Promise Salt Lake to highlight the diverse entities contributing to the region's success.
