We're getting our board retreat started with a welcome from @TownofBreck Mayor, Eric Mamula! We're excited to go over our accomplishments from the past year, explore our goals for the future and have meaningful discussions with our board members.

The Impact Denver Fall 2023 cohort kicked things off last week! For the next six months, these changemakers will sharpen their leadership skills, learn from influential leaders in our community and work on an impact project for local nonprofits.

On Wednesday, our President and Executive Vice President of the @DenChamber, Jerome Davis was one of four individuals selected to receive the City and County Denver’s coveted Mayoral Gold Challenge Coin. Congratulations, Jerome!

A group of the #LeadershipDenver Class of 2023 graduates addressed public safety as part of their Mayor’s challenge project. Today, they assisted with recruitment for a critical area of the city and increase access to living wage jobs to historically underrepresented populations.

Nearly 50 #AccessDenver participants got to see a whole lot of Metro Denver in a short period of time. These executives heard about the top critical issues in our city, visited established landmarks and out up-and-coming developments, including the remarkable One River North.

Kicked off #AccessDenver with Denver Mayor-Elect Mike Johnston, who shared his vision for the future of Denver and heard the thoughts and ideas of program participants. We're looking forward to building connections, learning about issues in our communities and exploring our city.
