Partner Events in MAY
 The Women's Chamber is happy to partner with community events that celebrate outstanding women and their many accomplishments. In May, we'll enjoy back-to-back special events and hope that you'll take a seat at one of our tables. On Thursday, May 12 we'll join the Regional Business Alliance to learn who will be honored as this year's ATHENA Award recipient. The keynote speaker will be Polly Letofsky, of GlobalWalk, Inc., who will share Little Steps, Big Feat- Life and Leadership Lessons from a Walk Around the World. Then on Tuesday, May 17 we'll help honor US Air Force Academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. Michelle Johnson and recognize the Karen Possehl Women's Endowment scholars at the annual Unstoppable Women luncheon at UCCS. And ... we're saving a seat for you at both luncheons! Join friends and associates at Women's Chamber tables set aside for these special events - just register at the SCWCC links below and we'll sign you up.

Key Election Dates: Primaries on June 28
|
El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Chuck Broerman recently presented key election dates for the coming months - reminding everyone that important preparations are already underway. The Elections Department is anticipating a record turnout, with hotly contested races at every level of government ... so get ready by checking EPCVotes.com for local details.
The 2016 election will be conducted as a mail-ballot, with added Voter Service and Polling Centers available for casting your vote in person. You'll want to check your voter registration info to make sure that it's correct with the Secretary of State. You can also go direct to GoVoteColorado.com, then select links below "manage my registration" to confirm your record and stay in the loop.
If your information is correct, all you need to do is await your ballot's arrival by mail. But if anything needs to be updated, changes must be completed by you, as detailed by the Secretary of State website. Mail ballots are not forward-able under Colorado law.

The Colorado Springs Conservatory recently partnered with the Women's Chamber and The Mezzanine is its own 'social enterprise' that subsidizes programming for over 800 young performing artists through membership fees and all ticket sales.
Conveniently located on Tejon, The Mezz enhances the local arts scene and has become a vital part of the downtown Creative District. This unique performing arts experience offers classical music, jazz, drama, musical theater, burlesque, dueling pianos and much more (plus signature cocktails) - all in an environment that nurtures, honors, and cultivates both audiences and artists, now and into the future.
