Regional Statistical Analysis Project
Northwest Colorado’s mountain and rural communities are navigating rapid change, with housing affordability, workforce shortages, infrastructure demands and environmental pressures increasingly shaping daily life. The Regional Statistical Analysis Project brings together insights from more than 100 leaders across 25 communities and organizations to better understand these shared conditions. The findings show that the region does not lack ideas or commitment. Its central challenge is building the staffing, funding and implementation capacity needed to turn local priorities into lasting action. This report offers a regional view of the opportunities and tradeoffs that will shape a sustainable future for Northwest Colorado.

2022 Elected Officials Workbook
Congratulations, you’ve gotten yourself elected! How do you shift from citizen to public servant and effective board. You may discover there is no obvious path. I have been elected to public office six times; honored to serve as a town trustee, a Mayor and a county commissioner. In each role, I learned by doing. I now support leaders across multiple municipalities and counties, only a handful of which deliberately onboard newly elected officials as well as they onboard staff.
