Board of Advisors

IT, the 21st century infrastructure, demands a productive and gender diverse workforce for competitiveness and organizational support. Working together, the CCGIT Board of Advisors shares commitment to strengthening Colorado’s IT capability, and brings vision, perspective, and expertise to development and expansion of a skilled workforce.

The BOA comprises men and women from Colorado who are influential in the IT industry and education and who share a passion for the Coalition’s work. Assisting in setting the strategic direction of CCGIT, the Board represents a cross-section of statewide partners, and uses its collective network to identify programmatic and funding partners for the Coalition’s work. The BOA meets twice a year and comments on quarterly updates from the Coalition’s Co-Directors.
