Bolder Way Forward for Utah

Morgan County

BWF logo

Morgan County is well-known for its lush green valleys and farm fields dotted with settlements and surrounded by dramatic snow-capped peaks. The rural, small western character of Morgan County is highly valued by 12,500+ residents. Agriculture as a basis for livelihood and lifestyle alongside growth in commerce and tourism are finding balance. Since grassroots is key to long-term societal change in the Bolder Way Forward (BWF) Framework, the BWF Wasatch Front-North Region including Davis, Weber, and Morgan Counties amplifies the efforts in all the counties and brings the BWF message to every city, town, business, neighborhood, and family within the county. Since the “whole is greater than the sum of the parts,” we look at who is currently doing the work in each spoke, or focus area, and elevate existing efforts. By lifting women and girls, we lift all residents.

What Can I Do?

In 2024, Morgan County Leaders gathered to discuss how to strengthen the impact of girls and women locally – read details here. Highlights included:

  • Parents in Morgan County were recognized as the most powerful influence on the lives of their daughters.
  • Leaders emphasized the essential role schools play in developing leadership, confidence, and competence in girls and young women and recognized the essential role graduating from college plays in a woman’s life.
  • Concern over the physical wellbeing of girls and women emerged as a primary theme.
  • Attendees indicated women in the workplace struggle with limited opportunities for internal advancement and leadership, as well as with conscious and unconscious bias.
  • Participants were concerned about the limitations and decreased value culture (why and how we do what we do) has placed on women and girls.

When we listen and respond to concerns regarding the needs of girls and women in Morgan 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.
