Register here: https://go.pardot.com/l/972023/2024-01-31/czfz5

Join us for a free, full day of in-person legislative education and advocacy focused on our legislative priorities and this year’s theme: “Care, Not Cuffs.” The event comprises two parts, and you can opt in to one or both. First, we’ll be hosting an advocacy training breakfast on how to advocate effectively on our legislative priorities with an opportunity to go to Colorado’s Capitol, watch floor proceedings, and meet face-to-face with legislators to share your story and discuss the bills they should support. For the second part, we'll transition back from the Capitol to a networking lunch with advocates and legislators, where we’ll hear from our Keynote Speaker, Judge Steven Leifman (Miami-Dade County, Florida). Additionally, a panel of experts will discuss what our state is doing to move toward meeting health needs with health care and disentangling mental health from the criminal justice system.

Please join Mrs. Denver for a free virtual event for Pancreatic Cancer World Day on November 16th. 

The theme is - Change the Course: Early Detection For Pancreatic Cancer.

*Why pancreatic cancer is notoriously difficult to detect at an early stage of the disease, and why progress on a standard screening tool has been slow compared to other cancers.

* How advances in artificial intelligence and imaging technology stand to impact how cancer is detected and diagnosed.

Early detection can be the critical difference in one’s survival.

It's a "free" virtual event on October 19th from Noon-1pm(MST)/1-2pm(EST). Donations are not required, but, of course, welcome. Link Here

My husband's brother, Doug, has special needs; which is why I'm a passionate volunteer with Best Buddies. Our collective goal is to create a culture of inclusion without limits. We had our Best Buddies Friendship Walk back on May 8th. I would love to have the ladies join me during this Global Best Buddies NDEAM - National Disability Employment Awareness Month. This year's theme is Advancing Access and Equity, and honors the 50th Anniversary of the passing of the Rehabilitation Act; which was the first federal legislation to address access and equity for people with disabilities.

Many thanks!
