Lane Beattie, president and CEO of the Salt Lake Chamber, issued the following statement regarding the passing of Fred Ball.

“Fred Ball left a legacy of influence at the Salt Lake Chamber and throughout the state’s business community that has been felt for more than 30 years and continues to this day. His tireless efforts as a promoter of Utah business sustained and enhanced the impact of our state on a local, regional and national level.
