Who is driving Utah’s Future?

The Community Foundation of Utah announced today the 2011 class of the "Enlightened Fifty" or E-5-0. This program recognizes individuals who are a driving force in improving Utah’s future.

Modeled on V-Spring Capital’s V-100, the Foundation received over 200 nominees, who then each selected five individuals, creating the top 50 ‘enlightened entrepreneurs’ or the E-5-O. The Community Foundation of Utah conducts this process annually, building a network of innovative Utahns committed to the common good.

This year’s E-5-0 includes business and religious leaders, entrepreneurs, academics, community volunteers, journalists, leaders of nonprofits, and elected officials who:

pioneer innovative and sustainable approaches to the critical issues facing Utah;

demonstrate a commitment to community engagement;

make a profound mark on Utah’s quality of life; and

value collaboration, entrepreneurship and creativity.
