“Colorado Succeeds plays an important role in how we shape policies, making sure that the business community has a strong voice in how we better prepare our students for 21st-century jobs.”
Crisanta Duran, FORMER SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, Colorado General Assembly
“Colorado Succeeds pushes out facts and policies and strong, innovative ideas. I’m still a firm believer that seven times out of ten, fact and logic and truth wins out over emotion. So we’ve got to stay the course.”
Owen Hill, Chair, Colorado Senate Education Committee
