In 2026, the United States will celebrate 250 years since the Declaration of Independence through the America250 initiative. This nationwide effort invites communities, businesses, and organizations to honor our history, celebrate local stories, and help shape the future.

The Chamber encourages members to get involved through events, service projects, and educational opportunities. Watch for local ways to participate—or reach out if you’d like to be part of the planning.

As 2025 comes to a close, the Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce extends heartfelt thanks to all of our members, sponsors, volunteers, and community partners who have supported us throughout the year. Your engagement, whether through participation in events, sponsorship, leadership, or outreach, has strengthened our local business community and helped make this year a success.

This year has been filled with meaningful collaboration, community celebration, and opportunities to grow. From networking events to educational workshops and advocacy efforts, our Chamber continues to connect businesses, support economic vitality, and create a stronger voice for our area.

We are especially excited about new opportunities ahead in 2026, including the formation of the Utah Chamber, a statewide partnership of business leaders dedicated to unifying the business community, expanding advocacy efforts, and providing broader resources for businesses across our state. These statewide efforts align with our mission and open doors for greater collaboration and impact for local businesses here at home.

As we look to the year ahead, we want to share a few important opportunities:

• Board of Directors applications are currently open. We welcome those with a passion for service and community to apply.
• Award nominations for 2026 are also open. If you know an individual or business who deserve recognition, please nominate them at: https://forms.gle/pTypcReQ7Rfph9yd8

We also honor and thank our outgoing board members for their dedicated service:

• Nannette Jackson has served on the board for several years and has been a steadfast leader as both Chair-Elect and Chairwoman, as well as past treasurer. Her commitment and leadership helped guide the Chamber through significant milestones, and we are deeply grateful for her service.
• Brian Johnson, who has served on and off over the years and most recently as Past Chair, has contributed his time and experience generously. We thank him for his leadership and wish him the very best in future endeavors.

We are please to welcome Sara Harvey as our new 2026 Chamber Chair and look forward to her leadership as the Chamber continues to grow and serve.

We also invite you to join us at our Awards Recognition Banquet on February 19, 2026, at the Northridge Valley Vent Center in Mapleton, a celebration of community and achievement.

Thank you for your ongoing support. We are honored to serve this vibrant community and look forward to all that 2026 will bring.
