February 6 Event to Discuss Inaugural Northern Colorado Intersections Report

The Community Foundation of Northern Colorado’s inaugural report, Northern Colorado Intersections: Pursuing Regional Well-Being, is a result of a year’s worth of research, discussions and engagement that discovered what the Northern Colorado region is doing well and where is it feeling the pressures of growth most acutely.

The goal of the report is to help inform the Northern Colorado region on how it builds and implements a collective strategy that will create well-being for all. The NoCo Foundation partnered with Colorado State University to review and analyze local, state and national data in relation to needs and gaps in services and opportunities.

Findings from the report will be shared with the Northern Colorado community on Tuesday, February 6 from 8 to 10 a.m. at the Embassy Suites in Loveland and will offer dialogue with a Mayoral Panel and Industry Expert Panel.

Mayor panelists are Jeni Arndt, Fort Collins; John Gates, Greeley; Paul Rennemeyer, Windsor and Jacki Marsh, Loveland. It will be facilitated by Ken Amundson, Managing Editor of BizWest.

The industry panel of experts include Andy Feinstein, University of Northern Colorado President; Jay Dokter, CEO of Vergent Products, and general partner in The Forge; Tracy Mead, Executive Director of Project Self Sufficiency and the Nonprofit Sector Partnership; and Raymond Lee, Greeley City Manager. It will be facilitated by Erin O’Toole Host and Senior Producer at KUNC.

“The data and stories gathered in this report make it clear that there are issues we cannot solve alone that will require a collective and collaborative approach throughout Larimer and Weld Counties,” said Kristin Todd, President & CEO of the NoCo Foundation.

The NoCo Foundation will also engage community partners and leaders to work together to address the report’s findings. To read the full report, visit nocointersections.org.
