You are invited to Pollinators!
You are cordially invited to Pollinators, the 44th Annual Conference of Western Colorado Alliance!
Just as bees and butterflies and hummingbirds provide essential pollen to flowering plants and thereby help create healthy ecosystems, so too do our members provide their passion, focus, and hard work to create healthy, just, and self-reliant Western Colorado communities. And this year, we hope to encourage and further that process with an annual conference themed around the “pollinating” we intend to do in this very important election year.
This year, our annual conference will be held on Saturday, August 24 in the Meyer Ballroom in the University Center of Colorado Mesa University. Doors will open at 9:30 am.
As always, our Annual Conference aims to offer something for everyone. We’ll start the day with our annual business meeting which includes the election of our new board officers, ratifying our organizational platform, and an awards ceremony in recognition of our members. We’ll follow our business meeting with lunch and an inspiring keynote speaker. And we will round out the day with a series of workshops for our pollinators (you!) to learn from and take out into the community.
You can find more information and the day’s agenda on our website and we’ll have more information soon. Tickets are $40 and are available now.
Emily stepped up as our staff director in 2017, but originally joined our team as a community organizer in 2013. Born and raised on the Western Slope, Emily graduated from Colorado State University and then had the privilege of learning from and working alongside organizers in Central and South America as well as Appalachian coal country. They returned to their home state to protect the land they love and work with fellow Coloradans for a healthy, just and self-reliant future for our rural communities. Emily enjoys organizing, exploring the Colorado Plateau, country music and punk concerts with equal passion.
