EDCC Fall Conference
The EDCC Fall Conference was held on October 29-31, 2008 at the Doubletree Hotel in Colorado Springs.
 
Highlights of the conference included Governor Ritter as the opening day luncheon speaker, a review of the 3rd Annual Citizens' Survey on Economic Development, a Legislative Leadership Panel and several very interesting speakers and breakout sessions.
 
We have posted the results of the 3rd Annual Citizens' Survey, as well as the PowerPoint presentation given at the conference.
 
By an overwhelming majority (29%), the citizens of Colorado want and expect the Governor and General Assembly to focus on the economy in the 2009 legislative session.

Colorado Economic Leadership Coalition 
Colorado Capitol 
The Colorado Economic Leadership Coalition (CELC) normally meets on the 2nd Friday of each month during the legislative session, at a location near the State Capitol.
 
The CELC met on January 16 at the Colorado Municipal League.  Notes from that meeting, including links to the material presented at the meeting are available online.
 
 
The next meeting of the CELC will be on Friday, February 13 at noon.  We sincerely hope you can join us for this meeting of the CELC.  With the economy being foremost on the minds of the legislators and people of Colorado, we're sure to have some interesting and informative discussion about plans to stimulate the Colorado economy.   The CELC is under the sponsorship of the Economic Development Council of Colorado. 
 
CELC has no dues - we are a group of folks interested in creating and maintaining a healthy, vibrant economy in Colorado and routinely discuss potential legislative ideas, regulatory change and other issues that will assist in that goal.
 
Please contact us if you have any questions or would like to attend - either Danny at dtomlinson@msn.com or Michelle at malcott21@comcast.net 

Sincerely,
