Statement
of Purpose
The
Utah Sign Association operates for the purpose and mutual benefit of its member
sign and sign-related companies, their employees, sign users and the consuming
public with respect to on-premise signage.
The
Utah Sign Association does hereby pledge itself to strive to meet the following
objectives:
- To
promote and establish cordial and cooperative relations among all the members
of the sign industry in general;
- To
form a united front for various businesses engaged in other types of sign businesses
for the purpose of representing the industry wherever needed in state and federal
legislation, municipal and county ordinance, codes, zoning, regulations and any
other matters affecting the sign industry as a whole or in part;
- To
work towards harmonious relations and better understanding in establishing high
standards of operation and business ethics;
- And,
to plan, prepare and produce publicity and educational programs favorable to the
sign industry as a whole, and to use every available opportunity to get such information
to the general public.
The
companies which make up the sign industry in Utah further pledge to serve their
customers and meet their community obligations by conducting their business in
a manner consistent with good taste and in the public interest.
Why
we have the Utah Sign Association...
Many,
many years ago, a few farsighted men looked into the future and realized that
a sign association could have a major impact on the development of the sign industry
and its customers in the state of Utah. They realized all of us as individuals
would benefit by working together toward a common goal.
In
2004 the structure of the Utah Sign Association was formalized in an effort to
take the association to the next level professonally. An executive director was
hired and membership commitments are being sought from Utah sign companies, sign
supply distributors, product manufacturers, as well as those companies that serve
the sign industry.
Our
association is growing and will thrive because we, as members, will advance our
businesses and other interests by working as a team. Throughout its existence,
the association has improved our businesses, joined together to promote proper
legislation, urged changes in ordinances that we feel are against the best interests
of all concerned, upgraded our industry's image and helped fight those who would
strangle the competitive system of free enterprise that our industry enjoys.
We
invite you to see for yourself what the Utah Sign Association is all about. Become
an active member of the association and help your business grow and reflect the
professional approach to identifying properties through well-designed on-premise
signage.
If
you do any business in Utah you should know...
Who
We Are
We
are a non-profit organization representing licensed sign contractors and retail
sign shops, sign installers, sign representatives, sign suppliers, sign product
manufacturers, and parties of interest in or doing business in the state of Utah.
We
are governed by elected officers and board members who donate their time to oversee
the functions, operation and objectives of the association. We also sustain standing
committees as needed to address the issues facing our industry.
Why
We Are
Because
every sign company or related business needs to be involved with an association
that looks out for and defends its members' common interest and whose collected
efforts and accomplishments far surpass that of any individual company.
Our
Commitment To The Community
Since
we live in, raise children, and work in the communities, we are sensitive to the
needs and desire to keep the community a visually pleasant and safe place to live.
We promote the involvement and participation of the business sector in shaping
sign code revisions, by helping to educate and mobilize them in the process. We
realize that a sign code is important to be not only legally enforceable, but
user friendly, and a culmination of the desire of the community. We have tools
to help both planners and planning and zoning committees work through the difficult
process of sign code issues. Videos, guideline sign codes, sample ordinances,
photographic publications on signs and graphics, and legislative case studies
are provided to municipalities for their use in rewrite efforts.
Why
We Need You
It
takes membership to generate the support to finance an association. Limited membership
means limited funds, which in turn limits our effectiveness and capabilities.
We
ask you to join in our activities and find out what we're all about, first hand.
Discuss membership benefits with your associates who are members of our association.
Then... we ask you to join our association!
