The “Luminary” is uniquely connected to Ogden’s railroad heritage and inspired by a phenomenon in the railroad industry known as The Loom. At night, particularly during a storm, mist, or heavy humidity, moisture in the air refracts the light from a train’s headlamp, allowing it to reach farther and create a broader beacon that helps illuminate the way ahead.
The Luminary Award is the Ogden-Weber Chamber’s premier annual honor, recognizing individuals and organizations whose leadership, achievement, service, or influence has made an exceptional contribution to the Chamber, our business community, or the economic vitality of Weber County during the past 12 months (Thanksgiving to Thanksgiving).
Like The Loom, Luminaries extend their influence beyond themselves. They illuminate possibilities, elevate those around them, and help light the way forward.
A Luminary isn’t necessarily the most famous person, biggest employer, or loudest leader. This is about what they did that extended beyond themselves. How their leadership affected employees. How their investment affected the economy. How their service affected the Chamber. How their collaboration brought others along. AND how their idea(s) opened possibilities.
