Utah County
Utah County is noted for its stunning natural landscapes, including the iconic Wasatch Mountains and Utah Lake. Renowned for its strong community spirit and volunteerism, the county also houses two of the state's largest universities and boasts a thriving arts scene. A strong entrepreneurial climate abounds throughout the county and a booming tech hub can be found at Silicon Slopes and the upcoming “The Point” complex. Because grassroots engagement is key to making long-term societal change in the initiative A Bolder Way Forward (BWF), the Utah County 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 Utah 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.
