Public Education & Outreach
Good Business Colorado is the educational affiliate of Good Business Colorado Association.
Throughout the year, Good Business Colorado encourages innovation, discussion, and collaboration via a series of business roundtables, workshops, and other education events aligned with our core mission and values. These events, which range from business workshops to policy briefings, cover many of the most pressing issues in our time—each with the distinct goal of inspiring greater civic engagement from like-minded business owners and entrepreneurs throughout Colorado. Whether our members are advocating for affordable health care or building a more inclusive economy, our events are devoted, most of all, to leave a genuine impact on our community.
