 Public Policy / Media Relations – Chris McCormick

Chris McCormick has a passion for serving in the community and truly believes Cedar City has a very promising future. The people, culture, and diversity of our community is tremendous and strong knit which says a lot about who we are and what we represent. For most of his adult life, Chris has been involved in civic organizations as a way to give back. Building businesses and helping others to do the same is something Chris thrives on. Not every one of his business ventures has been a financial success, but he has learned and grown from each experience. Business development and marketing are two areas that motivate Chris as they both offer a creative outlet. Being apart of the Cedar City Area Chamber of Commerce has been one of Chris' greatest experiences as he genuinely believes in the people and potential of this community. Chris was the President of the Chamber in 2010.
