Our Logo represents our Pacific Islander community; past, present, and future.
UPIC stands for Utah Pacific Islander Chamber. Below UPIC lies the journey of our ancestors from across the oceans to the western region of the United States of America, and across the plains. Whether by air, land, or sea, they arrived to the sight of the mountains here in Utah. Above UPIC shows the mountains representing the red rock hills of St. George to the rocky terrain of the Wasatch Mountains. From farmlands to railroads, to the bustling suburban landscape, our pacific island community thrives in exchange and commerce with our global community. The 4 stars represent our chamber goals of; Growth From Within, Bring Business To Our Businesses, Culturally Relevant Business Training & Education, and Civic Engagement.
