Forum for Civic Advancement
The Forum for Civic Advancement supports and engages individuals interested in contributing to the civic health of the Pikes Peak Region by preparing those who serve, or those who would like to serve, in elected or appointed positions. The forum is open to all across the political spectrum.
At least six times per year, the Forum provides an opportunity to learn from the Forum Chairs, who are important figures in Colorado politics and public policy. It also provides an opportunity for those currently engaged in the practice of public policy to meet with those who wish to lead Colorado's future.
Additionally, the Forum periodically hosts seminars with practical information about campaigning and holding public office. To date, The Forum has offered seminars on how to run for and win a position on the City Council, and how to run for and win a position with your local school board.

Speaker of the House, Andrew Romanoff
Former Secretary of the Interior, Gale Norton
