Colorado Business Committee for the Arts

Denver

News: Northglenn Mayor Meredith Leighty; Brian Loo, vice president of operations development, quality and standards at Meow Wolf; and Maye Cordero, director of marketing and events for the Boulder Chamber of Commerce, are among the seven that have been elected to the board of the Colorado Business Committee for the Arts.

The board now has 28 members, the majority of whom are from historically marginalized communities.

CBCA executive director Christin Crampton Day points out that in 2022 the organization committed to making the selection of board members more equitable and transparent by seeking individuals who bring geographic, gender and ethnic diversity to the organization – all of which is reflected in the most recent appointments.
