Last week, we were proud to co-host a Colorado Competitiveness Roundtable in partnership with the Governor’s Office, the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, the Grand Junction Economic Partnership, and the Economic Development Council of Colorado - EDCC at Colorado Mesa University.

Employers, industry leaders, economic development professionals, and local officials came together for honest conversations about what businesses need to grow, invest, and create jobs in Colorado. The discussions covered regulatory predictability, speed to market, access to capital, infrastructure, and the importance of recognizing that economic development looks different across urban and rural communities.

We are especially grateful to the businesses and local partners who took time away from their work to show up, share their experiences, and offer thoughtful ideas. Their firsthand perspectives are essential to understanding how policies work in practice and where opportunities exist to improve.

We also appreciate our state and regional partners for listening directly to Western Colorado’s business community. Conversations like these help build greater understanding and create opportunities for more thoughtful, practical policy.

The Chamber will continue ensuring the voice of business is part of the conversation as we work together to strengthen Colorado’s competitiveness.

Nearly 200 young professionals came together at the Western Slope YP Summit, digging into everything from their own leadership strengths and difficult conversations to influence, career paths, and finding their place in the community.

YPN Board Member Leonela Castellon of SEA Strategy and Design summed up one of our favorite takeaways: “One of my biggest takeaways from the YP Summit was not to define ourselves by our job titles, but by the skills we want to build, the problems we care about, and the impact we hope to make.”

That’s what Purpose. Place. Possibility. was all about.

A huge thank you to the attendees, speakers, sponsors, volunteers, and partners who brought the day to life and to everyone who participated!

Here’s to carrying that momentum forward! 🚀
