Business Cares: April 2024

In Colorado, 1 in 3 women, 1 in 3 men and 1 in 2 transgender individuals will experience an attempted or completed sexual assault in their lifetime. During April, we recognize Sexual Assault Awareness Month with the hopes of increasing conversations about this very important issue.

Panelist will be Kimberlee McKee, executive director of the Longmont Downtown Development Authority; Patty Quinones, executive director of Innovation Programs for the St. Vrain Valley School District; Shawn Lewis, assistant city manager for the city of Longmont; and Wendi Nafziger, interim president of the Longmont Area Economic Council.

The LAEC is in negotiations with a candidate to fill the organization’s CEO/president position. Nafziger, the organization’s longtime vice president, has been interim president since John Cody resigned from the post in August 2013 to take a similar job in Thornton.
