U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), a 2022 inductee into the Silicon Slopes Hall of Fame

LEHI, Utah, Feb. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --  Silicon Slopes today announced it has added U.S. Senator Mike Lee to its 2022 cohort of new inductees into the Silicon Slopes Hall of Fame.

Senator Lee joins three other noted breakthrough leaders as Silicon Slopes Hall of Fame inductees:

“Few people realize the tireless and important work Senator Lee has put in behind the scenes to protect and uplift businesses in general, as well as the technology industry specifically, both in Utah and throughout the country,” said Clint Betts, Executive Director of Silicon Slopes.

Post this
  • Astrid S. Tuminez, Ph.D.: President of Utah Valley University;
  • Todd Pedersen: Chairman and Founder of Vivint Smart Home; and
  • Warren Osborn: Serial Entrepreneur, Investor and Board Member (awarded posthumously);

Each of the four Hall of Fame inductees will be fêted during the 2021 Silicon Slopes Hall of Fame & Awards program held at the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City this Thursday, February 24, where over 1,000 business leaders are expected to be in attendance.

Additionally, 21 individuals and organizations will receive Silicon Slopes Awards as Utah's Best of the Best in 2021 in categories ranging from CEO of the Year to Intern of the Year and from Best Software Product to Top Web3 application/entertainment.

"Few people realize the tireless and important work Senator Lee has put in behind the scenes to protect and uplift businesses in general, as well as the technology industry specifically, both in Utah and throughout the country," said Clint Betts, Executive Director of Silicon Slopes. "It is for these reasons and more that we are pleased to induct Mike Lee, Utah's senior Senator, into the Silicon Slopes Hall of Fame."

A Brief Biography of Senator Mike Lee

A vigorous defender of the fundamental liberties of all Americans and the country's founding constitutional principles, U.S. Senator Mike Lee also a stands as a major supporter of Utah's technology, life science, and business communities. Raised in Utah and Virginia, Lee developed a deep respect for the U.S. Constitution by observing his father, Rex E. Lee, serve as the Solicitor General under President Ronald Reagan. After receiving his undergraduate and law degrees from Brigham Young University, Lee's career has spanned both private practice and various positions in governmental service, including

  • Work specializing in appellate and Supreme Court litigation;
  • Clerking for Justice Samuel Alito on the U.S. Supreme Court;
  • Serving as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Salt Lake City; and
  • Serving as General Counsel to Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, Jr.

Since his election to the U.S. Senate in 2010, Senator Lee has been a vocal champion for all Utahns. As a current leader on the Senate Commerce and Senate Judiciary Committees, Senator Lee focuses on such key issues as privacy, workforce development, antitrust, and innovation. His support for the "State of Silicon Slopes" was publicly showcased recently as world-renowned executives Tim Cook (Apple) and Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook) came to Utah at Lee's invitation to deliver keynote addresses at the 2022 and 2021 Silicon Slopes Summits, respectively. Beyond skills of oratorial recruitment, however, he continues to vigorously uphold the ability of all Utahns to dream, innovate, and execute as they choose. Hence, for these reasons and more, Silicon Slopes is honored to induct Senator Mike Lee into its Hall of Fame.
