Bolder Way Forward for Utah

Morgan County Coalition                                                                                A Bolder Way Forward Logo 

Morgan County is well-known for its lush green valley of farm fields dotted with settlements and surrounded by dramatic snow-capped peaks. The rural, small western character of Morgan County is highly-valued by residents, and agriculture as a 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 Framework, the Morgan County Coalition strives to bring 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,” the Coalition looks at who is currently doing the work in each spoke, or focus area, and what programs and efforts already support women and families in Morgan County. The co-leads, Executive Leadership Team and members facilitate communication, resource sharing, and new initiatives or programs as needed and connect Morgan County with statewide efforts. By lifting women and girls in our county, we lift all residents. To learn more about what you can do to strengthen the impact of girls and women in Morgan County, read the "What Can I Do?" report
