The Alliance.

The Utah Alliance for Economic Development is committed to growing Utah's economy by providing our membership in both the public and private sectors with effective professional development and networking opportunities.

Our Mission.


The Utah Alliance for Economic Development is a statewide organization of economic development professionals. Our membership includes representatives from state and local government, utility companies, real estate firms, large- and small-scale development firms, staffing companies, law firms, and private economic development firms. We host training events to learn more about our trade, to discuss common issues, and to celebrate victories throughout the state.



Support Economic Development Professionals.


The Utah Alliance for Economic Development is made up of economic and business development professionals from across the state. As a collaborative network, we believe in sharing ideas and best practices that move the State of Utah forward. We also connect our members to appropriate economic development. See RESOURCES for a list of our partners.

Professional Development.


The Alliance hosts quarterly statewide meetings in different cities around the state. This gives professionals a chance to learn about the local economy in the host city/county, engage in idea sharing with peers, and learn from the pros. More information about upcoming meetings can be found in the EVENTS section.


Advocate for Policies that Strengthen Utah's Economies and Communities.


As a convener of economic and business development professionals from across the state, the Alliance supports policies that will strengthen Utah's communities, cities, and counties. Strong economies allow communities to flourish, and we are committed to policies that strengthen local economies.
