Education can change everything.

As parents, employers, and investors in the future of our community, Colorado business leaders have the greatest vested interest in improving schools.

Business leaders are ideal agents for change. Here’s why:

1
We are problem-solvers committed to continuous improvement, iteration, and innovation.
2
We have experience in managing change within large, complex systems.
3
We rise above partisan gridlock and come together to get things done.
4
We take the long view, past election cycles, always with an eye on what’s best for students.

How we are changing the future.

STEM
Our STEM Champions are change agents for how school and industry work together to ensure all students have access to high quality STEM education and experiences that will prepare them for success in their future.

WORKFORCE READINESS
One of the best ways to keep Colorado’s businesses thriving is to make sure that our students are fully prepared for what comes after high school. Creating more connections between schools and industry helps build a more relevant education.

INNOVATION
We know that 85% of the available jobs in 2030 haven’t been invented yet. It’s going to take innovative and entrepreneurial leaders in schools and business, coming together, to solve our greatest problems.

THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
Business leaders are uniquely qualified to share a new perspective. We are the radical middle, true problem solvers, and committed to collaboration and continuous improvement.
