Bill Cook

Weber State University
Executive Director, Ogden Civic Action Network
Ogden, Utah
As the Executive Director for the Office of Community Development, Bill is leading the Ogden Civic Action Network initiative. The focus of the Network is to address the 30% poverty that exists in the East Central Neighborhood of Ogden. Even more challenging is the fact that 70% of the 15,037 residents do not make enough income to survive without assistance of some kind. How does a community address the most challenging social issues all at the same time? Who in their right mind would take on such a challenge? Please ask me why I'm willing to do so and how we are going about it.
