“We are especially honored to be given this award above all others because it’s the direct result of votes from members of the local business community we serve,” said Cheryl Snapp Conner, founder and Managing Partner of Snapp Conner PR. “We look forward to pioneering many more programs to address the new and evolving means of communication, and we plan to continue our expansion in Utah for many more years to come.”
