Guest Speaker:

Dale Bills : Director of Public Relations, City Creek Reserve

City Creek is a sustainably designed, walkable urban community of residences, offices and retail stores under construction on approximately 20 acres across three blocks in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City. Upon project completion in 2012, the city will be one of few in the nation with a vibrant, mixed-use development at its core. City Creek is an integral part of broad revitalization underway in the central city – including expansion at the Gateway, relocated educational facilities at the Triad Center and the new 222 Main office tower – all working together to create a vibrant and attractive downtown. Developed by City Creek Reserve, Inc., an affiliate of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the project includes strategic partners Taubman Centers, Inc., a leading developer and operator of innovative retail environments and Harmons Grocery Stores, a Utah company.

Dale will be giving a presentation on the construction progress of the City Creek project in downtown Salt Lake. Come see what City Creek will look like.

Following the resignation of President Ellen Reddick last month, Reese will serve as interim president until the Annual Vest Pocket Board retreat in February where officer elections are held. Reese, Communications Director for Gastronomy, Inc., has been a member of the Vest Pocket Board for the past year. Reese has been actively involved in Vest Pocket, as a representative of Gastronomy, for many years. She also is involved on the boards of other organizations that promote local business, including the Mayor’s Business Advisory Board, Downtown Merchants Association, and the Downtown Alliance Marketing & Events Committee.
