2017 Colorado Capital Conference Success

The 2017 Colorado Capital Conference, held in Washington, DC, was co-hosted by CU Anschutz Medical Campus Chancellor Don Elliman and our partners Colorado Mesa University, U.S. Senator Michael Bennet and U.S. Senator Cory Gardner. It was a very interesting time in our nation’s capital this year, as the conference took place the week the replacement bill for the Affordable Care Act was first dropped. Our group of 100 Coloradans, which included business leaders from across the state, CU leadership, CU regents and a few students, had the opportunity to hear from a number of great policy leaders including Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, John Dickerson from CBS News, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R‐KY), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D‐NY), and Ambassador Ahn from South Korea. Our evening banquet keynote speaker was former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. This year’s conference was a great success and we look forward to 2018.
