Utah County Coalition                                                                                        

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, including the Sundance Film Festival. 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 is key to long-term societal change in the Bolder Way Forward Framework, the Utah 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 Utah county. The co-leads, Executive Leadership Team and members facilitate communication, resource sharing, and new initiatives or programs as needed and connect Utah County with statewide efforts. By lifting women and girls in our county, we lift all residents.
