It is an honor and the culmination of my professional career to be working with people across the state of Colorado to improve our systems for waste reduction, diversion, and recovery. Whether the work is transforming discarded products into new items, composting food and organics for healthier soil, or incorporating used materials into new buildings, I am excited to learn more about the many ways our members are driving Colorado to become a leader in material recovery. My role grants me the opportunity to discover the nexus between citizens, businesses, governments, and other non-profits who recognize the opportunities and benefits of moving towards a circular economy. I welcome and encourage all the members to reach out to me with ideas, information, and questions.
