The Bottom Line

Howard Headlee, President, Utah Bankers Association

"I spend a lot of time thinking and speaking about Utah’s economic success. The more I think about Utah’s economic performance, resiliency, and recovery from economic crises and pandemics, the more compelled I am to determine what is driving it. 
 
Of course, my first thoughts focus on the diversity and strength of Utah’s banking ecosystem. You can’t have thriving communities and economic success without strong, successful banks. But this relationship is symbiotic; are Utah’s banks driving Utah’s economic success, benefitting from it, or both?"
