An Opportunity for Civic Conversation
As community leaders in the Pikes Peak region, we know it’s important to support the civic health of our community through conversation and debate. The Forum for Civic Advancement brings in speakers, elected officials and candidates, and community leaders from across our region and state to provide insights on public policy issues and help advance our civic conversation. Since 2002, this has taken shape through lectures and panels, as well as debates among candidates for elected office.
Please check back for updates on future Forum for Civic Advancement events.
