Action Colorado Membership
What does it mean to be a member of Action Colorado?
It means being an important part of a bigger community that gives a strong voice on the local, state, and federal levels. All Action Colorado members are service-driven, action-oriented leaders in whatever arena they operate. As you know, we are a non-partisan membership organization serving Southern and Rural Colorado. Members enjoy a powerful voice that is amplified by participation. We successfully work on public policy issues related to: Natural Resources (Agriculture, Water & Energy), Rural Economic Development, Education, Healthcare, Veteran Affairs and Local Government Affairs.
What does membership bring you?
As a member, you will be in the company of other leaders, business organizations, counties, municipalities, elected officials and nonprofit organizations. These connections are worth their weight in gold. Plus, you get the highly effective Action Colorado Team who are proven advocates for our communities. Members’ priorities come first for Action Colorado. We work with you to create a strategy that gets increased attention from decision makers, helps carry your message and connects you to successful outcomes.

Our process:
-
Each Session we keep track of legislation which would impact our priorities and focus issues..Our members can request help on a project, or for us to take a position on legislation.
-
We work with members to determine what is needed most to address an issue and if it affects other members of Action Colorado.
-
If it falls within our focus areas, we bring it to the Board for consideration.
-
If approved, the board takes position and/or decides what action to take.
When evaluating proposed legislation or rule making, we are considering answers to the following:
-
What problem is the proposed policy trying to address?
-
Are our communities contributing to the problem?
-
What burden would this policy add or remove for our communities?
-
What quantifiable difference would the policy make in addressing the problem?
