FROM THE BOARD CHAIR
It has been an honor to serve as Chair of the Board of
Trustees for The Colorado Education Initiative (CEI) since
2014. I, along with my colleagues on the Board, believe
strongly that Colorado students, regardless of individual
circumstances, deserve a high quality, personalized,
engaging education to prepare them for success in
school, work, and life.
Since 2007, CEI has worked with teachers, school principals, and district
leaders to provide the professional learning, technical assistance, tools, and
resources that they need to help Colorado’s students experience greater
success. We are excited and encouraged by what has been accomplished
in classrooms, schools, and districts across Colorado, and are eager to
continue the good work into the future.
Sincerely,

As a native of Colorado and a product of our state’s

dedicated to ensuring that every Colorado student has
the access and opportunity to benefit from high quality
educational programs. Furthermore, CEI is committed to
