United Way of Northern Utah leads collaborative initiatives that unite community stakeholders—nonprofits, businesses, government agencies, and residents—to address complex social issues. By fostering cross-sector partnerships, aligning resources, and driving data-informed decision-making, we work to achieve systemic change and measurable outcomes that improve lives across our region. Our collective impact approach emphasizes shared vision, continuous communication, and coordinated action to create sustainable, community-wide solutions. Core work includes overseeing three major teams that work together to address critical needs in our community with a cradle-to-career approach. Central to this is the United Partnership Council, a collective impact partnership focused on building a seamless cradle-to-career continuum for Ogden students and surrounding areas, as well as strengthening the health and economic stability of the community as a whole. Thus, a primary function of the Senior Director of Collective Impact is to build a backbone team with the competencies and capacity to improve outcomes in education, economic stability, and health, and support respective internal UWNU programs that provide services within these areas.
