Davis County
Davis County, nestled north of Salt Lake City, offers a distinct mix of suburban tranquility and urban accessibility as the third most populous county in the state with over 370,000 residents. The county is home to Hill Air Force Base, ensuring economic resilience and cultural vibrancy. Notably, Davis County boasts an array of activities, including hiking trails like the Bonneville Shoreline, Adams Canyon, and the Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area; parks like Antelope Island State Park and Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve; and the added allure of Lagoon Amusement Park, 10 golf courses, and Station Park shopping center, making it a sought-after destination in Northern Utah. Because grassroots engagement is key to making long-term societal change in the initiative A Bolder Way Forward (BWF), the Davis County Coalition leaders amplify research-based efforts and bring the BWF message to every city, town, business, neighborhood, and family. Since the “whole is greater than the sum of the parts,” we look at individuals and organizations currently doing the work in each area of focus (spoke) and elevate existing efforts. By lifting women and girls, we lift all residents.
When we understand the data, in addition to listening and responding to concerns regarding the needs of girls and women in Davis County, we will be better able to change harmful or ineffective policies and programs, continue effective action, support effective leaders, identify and solve local problems, and create responsive initiatives for Utah families.
