Meetings America is proud of Salt Lake City, Utah and the USA

In love with showing off their city to visitors

Salt Lake City:  This story begins as a love affair with their hometown. Because their kids were in school and  they had time on their hands, these two Moms separately became tour guides for a tiny destination management company, Sample Salt Lake.  They would have volunteered they both loved it so much.  However, their destiny forever changed when the owner asked the two of them to take over the company. What happens next is a study of business cycles, values, and human relations.

Meet Judy Cannon and Kathleen Barnes. Eventually, they bought the business.  These two, and their cadre of part-time and full-time guides and planners, all love everything about this special place.

Judy and Kathleen changed the name to Meetings America and grew the business.  Among many other large clients, the 2002 Winter Olympics engaged them a  client.  Then one day,  the husband of one of the guides, Ralph Johnson, made them an offer they couldn't refuse! They sold the business!
