President’s Welcome Address:

We are very excited about the 2016-17 year and are looking forward to continuing to build partnerships and relationships with other professional organizations in Colorado and surrounding areas to continue to expand access to knowledge for our Members.

The Board of Directors has worked diligently to identify and create ideas for Programs this year that will feature leaders both in our area and also outside of Colorado that are leading the way to share their experiences.
