Morgan County
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. Because grassroots engagement is key to making long-term societal change in the initiative A Bolder Way Forward (BWF), the BWF Wasatch Front-North Region including Davis, Weber, and Morgan Counties amplifies research-based efforts and brings 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 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 for Utah families.
