The Rural Utah Chamber Coalition represents 31 chambers across 24 rural counties, actively working to strengthen these chambers and equip rural entrepreneurs with resources to succeed.

Services provided through the coalition include workforce development, community branding, grant navigation, business consulting, marketing coaching, and shared resource directories. The coalition helps bridge the gap between rural and urban areas, ensuring small-town businesses access the same opportunities as urban counterparts.
