BWF County Coalition Updates - January 2025
This is an update from A Bolder Way Forward's Utah's 29 County Coalitions for January 2025.
A Bolder Way Forward Advocates, It’s an exciting new year full of momentum for A Bolder Way Forward (BWF)! We are pleased to share the following announcements in this month’s newsletter: Check Out Spoke & County Coalition Updates: We have launched a new BWF Blog, where you can find the first edition of Spoke Updates. This is a quick way to know what is happening within each, including ways to get involved. Be sure to check the blog for updates on County Coalitions later this week! We will be posting Spoke Updates each month and will share updates from Impact Teams and County Coalitions bi-monthly. How You Can Make A Difference: We have a new actionable list of "How You Can Make a Difference" with the Bolder Way Forward movement. Consider what additional efforts you can make in 2025 to help girls and women thrive! New Curriculum: We just released new curriculum for women called Exploring Your Purpose: Talents, Callings, and Influence that is a companion to our Male Allyship curriculum. Both are innovative discussion-based curriculum that are video facilitated and meant for deep conversations that lead to transformation. Gather a group of friends or co-workers and help spread the word about these foundational new courses. New Research: Earlier this month, we released a new white paper on Women in the Workplace: Utahns’ Awareness, Understanding, and Perceptions. This report shares the of results from our 2024 Fall Survey and includes both quantitative and qualitative findings for three spokes in the Workplace category (Organizational Strategies and Workplace Culture, Childcare/Pre-K Programs, and Gender Pay Gap), as well as one spoke in the Safety and Security category (Sexual Harassment and Gender-based Discrimination), which also applies to the workplace. Today, we have released the second white paper based on the 2024 Fall Survey: Women in the Workplace: Part 2. This includes new findings for the remaining four spokes in the Workplace category (Entrepreneurship, Workforce Development, STEM Fields, and Leadership Development). Opportunity for Organizations: An important initiative and partnership between UWLP and the Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity, 100 Companies Championing Women supports the Organizational Strategies and Workplace Culture Spoke. We encourage organizations with family friendly policies and women-specific initiatives to apply to be recognized in this third cohort so we can share their examples. Visit the BWF Events page to view upcoming events from BWF spokes and partners and check out the UWLP community calendar for all events in Utah for girls and women. To get engaged with BWF, take this Interest Survey, and join us on our social media platforms: LinkedIn, Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), and Instagram. Subscribe to this newsletter here.
