About Us
Dedication. Sacrifice. Commitment.
Those involved in the Utah Valley Entrepreneurial Forum (UVEF) are people who live by these words daily. They all understand the challenges and the trials of an entrepreneur. These people understand hard work hard and know the taste success as well as the bitterness of failure. UVEF is a support group working together to share lessons learned and to learn the war stories of those who've succeeded.
A nonprofit organization founded in 1989, UVEF encourages the creation and sustained growth of entrepreneurial ventures through :
- providing networking opportunities
- promoting recognition of business accomplishments and contributions
- sharing business experiences
- encouraging free enterprise
