SITE Mountain West continues to thrive - and 2025 was a year that truly reflected the strength, passion, and momentum of our chapter. With 243 members, we are proud to be the 4th largest SITE chapter, a milestone that speaks to the engagement of our membership, the dedication of our committees, and the leadership of an exceptional Board of Directors.

​

Throughout the year, we celebrated meaningful accomplishments, including:

• Hosting 16 live events across our four-state region, along with 6 virtual events

• Successfully producing our 2nd annual multi-day event in Park City, Utah

• Donating more than $24,000 to local charities across our four states

• Launching our Do Good in Your Neighborhood sustainability initiatives

 

These achievements are a direct result of the tireless efforts, creativity, and commitment of our board and committee members. I am especially grateful to Meredith Phillips for her thoughtful and compassionate leadership in 2025. Her kindness and dedication, along with the leadership of Lisa Kincannon Cherry over the past six years, have created a strong foundation for continued growth and success.

 

As we look ahead to 2026, the energy and excitement continue to build. We are proud to move forward with several impactful initiatives:

​

• Our multi-day event returns for the third time, taking place in Scottsdale at the Kimpton Miralina. Sincere thanks to Lisa Kincannon Cherry and the entire board for their leadership in bringing this event to life, as well as to the Kimpton Miralina and our valued sponsors for their continued support.

• Our Do Good in the Neighborhood sustainability events will return for a second year.

• Our Holiday Give Back events will continue in November and December.

• We will host our 2nd Annual Ski Day in Utah and launch our inaugural Colorado Ski Day.

 

It is truly an honor to serve as President of SITE Mountain West alongside such an exceptional group of board members and volunteers. Together, we are building a chapter defined by connection, collaboration, and impact—and a community our members are proud to be part of.

​

Warmly,

Deanne Vigil
SITE Mountain West President - 2026
