Utah Valley Chamber of Commerce Names Gail Miller as 2024 Pillar of the Valley

PROVO, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Utah Valley Chamber of Commerce named Gail Miller the 2024 recipient of the prestigious Pillar of the Valley Award. She will be honored at the annual Pillar of the Valley Gala on April 10, 2024, at proceedings 7-9 p.m. at the Provo Convention Center.

Gail Miller is the co-founder and owner of the Larry H. Miller Company and chair of the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation. For decades, she has played a vital role in enriching communities and aiding those who are affected by homelessness, food insecurity, lack of access to education and other determinants of health.

“Gail Miller continues to offer immeasurable support for Utah communities, including Utah Valley,” said Curtis Blair, Utah Valley Chamber President. “Leading with love and placing service above self is a way of life for this community Pillar.”

Growing up in humble circumstances, Gail learned lessons of hard work and self-reliance that guided her in life and in business. She and her late husband, Larry H. Miller, established the Larry H. Miller Company in 1979 with the purchase of their first automobile dealership. After Larry’s passing in 2009, Gail led the company through a significant shift in its business portfolio, whose focus now falls within the primary categories of real estate, health care, finance, entertainment, sports, and long-term strategy and investments.

Gail is steadfast in her belief that everyone around her has value, a voice and a story. As a child, her mother instilled that principle in Gail and her eight siblings. Those lessons guide Gail’s work in building communities where all voices are heard, valued and cherished.

A few of Gail’s most recent philanthropic, business and educational efforts in the Utah Valley include her work with the new Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Campus in Lehi, the opening of a new state-of-the-art assisted living facility – Aspen Ridge Residences of Lehi, and her various partnerships with Brigham Young University and Utah Valley University.
