What Great Resignation?
April 7, 1-2 p.m., MST
Virtual Community Program

Millions of U.S. employees left their jobs last year in what has been dubbed “the Great Resignation,” and Colorado was fourth on that list. Are Colorado employees really leaving the workforce? Or are they just seeking a better balance?

This panel discussion will feature Colorado companies from Outside Magazine’s list of Best Places to Work, including Crestone Capital, GroundFloor Media, Namaste Solar and Youth on Record. They’ll share how their commitment to building an empowering company culture has helped them bypass the Great Resignation altogether and provide new and interesting perks for their employees as they continue to thrive during one of the toughest times in recent history.

Virtual Voices | Creating Spaces of Belonging for Refugees
April 21, 11 a.m. – Noon, MST
Virtual Community Program

Colorado has a long history of welcoming newcomers, including refugees. An estimated 60,000 people who have fled their home countries now call Colorado home. Today, we are observing a major refugee crisis – the sixth-largest refugee outflow over the past 60-plus years. Join us for a conversation that will place the current crisis in context while exploring the unique intersectionality of living as both a refugee and a person of color in Colorado.
