As of February 12, 2026, Miriam Dixon is listed as the Director of Marketing for the South Valley Chamber of Commerce. In this capacity, Dixon has acted as a media contact for various organizational announcements, including the release of the 2026 State of the Chamber report. That report, published on February 12, 2026, highlighted the Chamber's 2025 Impact Report and outlined strategic priorities for 2026, such as service and community impact, business growth and economic development, member retention and value, and public policy leadership. The Chamber serves as an official partner to seven cities, including Cottonwood Heights, Sandy, Draper, South Jordan, Riverton, Herriman, and Bluffdale.
Dixon has also served as the media contact for the South Valley Chamber's announcement regarding the 2026 Small Business Impact Awards, published on June 1, 2026. This announcement detailed the recognition of seven outstanding small businesses, one from each city within the Chamber’s footprint. The recipients honored in that June 2026 announcement included Eight Settlers Distillery and Restaurant, which represents Cottonwood Heights. This inaugural award program was first announced at the Chamber's State of the Chamber event in February 2026.
Further documentation from August 10, 2026, identifies Dixon as the media contact for the launch of the Taste of Home Care Packages service project. This initiative, organized by the South Valley Chamber, was designed to collect snacks, treats, and handwritten notes for active-duty service members as part of the recognition of America's 250th anniversary. The project included a community care package assembly event scheduled for September 9, 2026, with a goal of packing 500 care packages. Donations for the project were accepted through August 26, 2026.
Dixon also provided media contact information for the announcement of the 2026 Small Business of the Year Award, which was published on August 27, 2026. According to that document, the South Valley Chamber named Cakes by Edith as the recipient of the award. The business was scheduled to be recognized at the South Valley Chamber’s annual Titan Awards on October 27 at The Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City. The Titan Awards have been a South Valley Chamber tradition since 2009, and the Small Business of the Year Award was established in 2022 to recognize small businesses demonstrating exceptional commitment to customers, employees, and the community.
Through these various communications and organizational initiatives, Dixon's work facilitates the connection between the South Valley Chamber and the business communities of its partner cities, including Cottonwood Heights.
