The Great Salt Lake Alliance is working to connect people, ideas, and resources to advance water innovation, according to an October 26 statement from the Salt Lake Chamber.
Executive Director Lindsie Smith noted that the organization acts as a convener, connector, and catalyst for water innovation in Utah by bringing together business leaders, government officials, researchers, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs.
Smith explained that the alliance brings diverse groups to the same table to find and scale solutions for the Great Salt Lake, noting that no single organization or agency can secure the lake's future alone.
According to Smith, collaboration allows solutions to be tested, funded, and adopted more efficiently when business leaders, scientists, and policymakers work together. The organization's partner program is open to organizations of all sizes and sectors to share expertise and help shape initiatives like the Great Salt Lake Solutions Exchange.
Derek Miller stated that the alliance is helping to create a more water-resilient future through collaboration across Utah.
