Anchor Institutions & Partners
Leadership by local anchors is what makes OgdenCAN special.
Anchors are large organizations grounded in Weber County who have committed their energy to this neighborhood. They recognize their collective impact, understanding just how much can be accomplished when there is a collaborative spirit, common goal, and shared metrics.
Efforts originally began by examining what is already underway in each anchor organization, thoughtfully evaluating business practices, and then identifying ways to leverage existing resources. There are three pillars of an anchor philosophy: HIRE local, BUY local and INVEST local.
