MISSION STATEMENT

The Preferred Vendor Coalition of the Utah Pacific Islander Chamber of Commerce empowers Pacific Islander vendors by providing comprehensive training, resources, and support to grow their businesses. We are committed to facilitating a seamless transition from home-based operations to market presence, food trucks to brick-and-mortar establishments, and owner-operated to staff-run enterprises. Through our one-stop shop for licensing and permits, we strive to create a thriving business ecosystem that nurtures innovation, fosters community connections, and promotes economic prosperity for all Pacific Islander entrepreneurs.
