This was an AMAZING night. We are so grateful that we got to be a part of it!

[Re-sharing the post after our marketing team made an edit.] This will be an excellent discussion, and you all should come! I am thrilled to share that Rachel Garcia with the Mexican Cultural Center in Denver will be our facilitator. I was fortunate to meet Rachel during the Colorado Humanities' Reflective Conversation facilitator training this past April. LaNaya B. has put together a cohort of incredible individuals who make a true difference in our community, and was humbled to meet and talk with everyone. Even better - we learned the skills to facilitate deep and important conversations on a variety of important social topics. Welcoming newcomers is exactly one of those important subjects that we critically need to reflect on. And dare I say that we have an amazing panel of local experts in welcoming and including immigrants: Andrea Loya with Casa de Paz Colorado, Diana Higuera with Rocky Mountain Welcome Center, Najeeb Hamdard with ECDC African Community Center of Denver, Walid Sharif, and Nga V??ng-Sandoval?with Refugees + Immigrants United. This will be an important discussion, so please join us and invite members of your community, organization, church, mosque, neighborhood, and so on. We need you there.

We’re thrilled to welcome our new board members, Andrew Maga?a, Christina Trujillo, and Jim Carpenter, to Colorado Humanities!

Andrew is currently the Director of Recruitment for Undergraduate Admissions at Colorado State University and his mission is to gather awareness and implement positive changes within organizations to embrace Colorado’s cultural, ethnic, and racial diversity. Christina Trujillo has worked in the nonprofit sector for over 10 years and currently serves as the Executive Director for Steelworks Center of the West in Pueblo where she has helped in designating the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company as a National Historic Landmark for their role in developing the American west. Jim Carpenter is the Chief Financial Officer at Metropolitan State University of Denver and is pursuing a translation and interpretation certificate which he will use to aid in providing opportunities for communities to explore and develop the skills of deep reading, effective writing, clear verbal communication and an understanding of historical context which have helped shape him in his professional and personal life. #ColoradoHumanities #NewBoardMembers
