DENVER CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS

Denver

News: The Denver Center for the Performing Arts is welcoming three new members to its board of trustees. They are:

• Nicole Ament, the real estate department chair at Brownstein Hyatt Farber Shreck
• Jerome Davis, executive vice president of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce and president of the Denver Metro Chamber Leadership Foundation
• Alan Salazar, a fifth-generation Colorado native who serves as outgoing Denver Mayor Michael Hancock’s chief of staff and on Aug. 7 will become Denver Water’s chief executive officer and manager

“Their active involvement and avid interest in the programs at the DCPA will help guide the organization as it embarks on an ambitious five-year strategic plan,” board president Hassan Salem said of the new members. “Their leadership will be instrumental as we broaden access, forge meaningful partnerships and connect with new audiences in all new ways.”

Ament, who holds degrees from Trinity University and the University of Denver Sturm College of Law, has worked in real estate law for 20-plus years, spearheading Brownstein Hyatt’s transactions featuring complex portfolios that include as many as 276 properties as well as large single assets.

Davis came to the Denver Metro Chamber from Xcel Energy Colorado where he was regional vice president/customer and community relations. He earned an MBA and a bachelor of science degree from Regis University.

Salazar’s career in public service includes being the state issues director for former U.S. Sen. Tim Wirth, chief of staff to former U.S. Rep. Mark Udall and chief strategy officer for then-Gov. John Hickenlooper.
