The Wasatch Speaker Series has been a real addition to the Salt Lake City scene. We are so glad that we signed up at the beginning of the first year and will continue to sign up year after year. Way to go in bringing important real world speakers to us.
Wasatch Speaker Series
Thank you again for bringing such a remarkable group of people to Phoenix. I enjoyed every speaker tremendously. I hope I will be able to get a second ticket this next season to bring my husband, children or grandchildren along, depending on the speaker. You are to be commended on a truly remarkable season.
