Upcoming Events & What's Happening

TONIGHT - Business After Hours at Ann Korologos Gallery
This weekend's events
Advocacy in action - Town Hall meeting
Tuesday's post-legislative session Town Hall meeting with
Rep. Dylan Roberts (Eagle) and
Rep. Julie McCluskie (Pitkin) provided
important updates on the bills that passed, particularly related to health care, and what work will continue this summer. The biggest takeaway: a special working group will be tackling HB1004 - working towards a public option - and there will be opportunities for the public to provide feedback on what needs to be considered. This is a huge opportunity to have your voice hear with regards to health insurance options in our valley.
See you at Business After Hours,
-Kris
P.S. Does anyone have any recommendations for a
PMP in the Valley, particularly for contract work?

Question of the week:
What amenities are important to you in an office/work space?
