Current Narrative:
The CWDC works closely with the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT), Minority Business Office (MBO), as well as with the Economic Development Council of Colorado (EDCC). The executive director of OEDIT is a voting member of the CWDC and is a member of the executive committee as well to ensure the alignment of efforts and strategies. Coordinating strategies with the MBO will help ensure entrepreneurs who are veterans, women, or minorities are able to connect with the services offered by the organization. The EDCC is a professional organization dedicated to strengthening Colorado’s economy, and the majority of its members are local economic developers. As a member of EDCC and its policy committee the CWDC is in tune with objectives and tactics being implemented and has a forum to bring workforce issues to this body on an ongoing basis.
