Std-Ex Letter: Envision Utah Has No Association With Envision Ogden

Envision Utah Community Relations Manager sets the record straight

News is again a mite slow around Emerald City this morning, but after some searching, we did find one Weber County Forum-topical item on the Standard-Examiner website which ought to be of interest to our gentle readers. Kevin Fayles, Community Relations Manager for Envision Utah, has submitted the following letter, disavowing any connection between his organization and apparent trade name copycat Envision Ogden:
Envision Utah has no association with Envision Ogden
Although it's sometimes said that "imitation is the most sincere form of flattery," this is the sort of flattery that Envision Utah can well do without; and we're thus delighted to help Mr. Fayles differentiate his organization from the politically suspect Emerald City-situated knockoff.

Intrepid WCF reader Dan S. has already visited the Std-Ex site and left his savvy and rapier-like comment :
However, it seems likely that Envision Ogden chose its name in the hope that some of Envision Utah's good reputation would rub off. Whether that's the case or not, it's astounding that so many companies made contributions of $1000 or more to Envision Ogden without even asking whether it was a legal entity.
We encourage our other readers to follow suit with their own comments, either here, on the Std-Ex site or both.
