Big Opportunities for Leaders to Deliver (B.O.L.D.) 2026
Our region is fortunate to have a strong economic base, with aerospace, bioscience, advanced manufacturing, food and beverage, and other industries forming a strong heart of our economy. And yet, we face well-known, persisting macro challenges that stand in the way of our local businesses and families thriving:
- Employers struggle to find talent; workers don’t have the right skills or knowledge of available opportunities
- Inadequate workforce housing and childcare capacity negatively impact workers and businesses alike
- Government financial and regulatory burdens and unopposed anti-business rhetoric stifle investment.
These longstanding challenges are further complicated by the evolving impacts of the receding pandemic, evolution in workplace styles, supply chain disruptions, steep inflation, and more.
We believe now is the time to tackle the biggest economic challenges facing our region with proactive, well-conceived strategies fueled/driven by a private-public partnership.
We invite your interest, input, and participation in the B.O.L.D. 2026 initiative and campaign. We will only be successful if all do their part and invest in this effort in a manner that fits each organization’s interest in the economic strength and resiliency of our region – and all of Colorado.
