South Valley Chamber honors four community and business leaders with annual Titan Awards

The South Valley Chamber of Commerce has announced the recipients of the 2023 Titan Awards: Abby Cox, Utah’s first lady; entrepreneurs Crystal and Chuck Maggelet; and real estate executive Brandon Fugal.

The chamber’s highest honor, the Titan Award is presented to business and community leaders who have demonstrated a long-term commitment to the community by being actively engaged, giving back, and making a significant positive impact.

Honorees were selected by the{mprestriction ids="1,3"} chamber’s executive committee and board of directors. Recipients will be recognized at an awards event Nov. 1 in Salt Lake City.

Cox “inspires Utahns to break down the barriers that separate people and is an advocate for ‘getting proximate’ and connecting through our differences,” the chamber said. “She uses her platform to champion educator wellness, statewide service, foster care support, and expanding access to Special Olympics Unified Sports teams in schools across the state. Together,  these four pillars make up the First Lady’s impactful Show Up Initiative.” Cox graduated from Snow College and earned a degree in special education at Utah State University.
