Special Presentation: Live and On-Location with Colorado Manufacturing Stakeholders

We had an excellent visit in Denver this week thanks to our many friends and partners who helped bring the week’s events together. A cadre of Colorado manufacturing leaders hosted us at MSU Denver’s Advanced Manufacturing Sciences Institute for the AMCC Monday call.

Special thanks to Mark Yoss and his counterpart Shannon Roe at MSU Denver for providing their space and showcasing their work on the call.

Also in attendance was Kat Plaza with the Colorado Apprenticeship Hub, Debra Wilcox with Colorado Space Business Roundtable, Rob Newbold with Manufacturers Edge (the state MEP), and Roger Nakagawa with Interstates.

And, a special thank you to BFF Barbara Pennell Jaynes at Positively Funded for reaching out and being the organizing muscle behind Monday’s meetings. This group is building a collaborative nexus for bringing new opportunities and partnerships into their ecosystem to benefit their manufacturers.

For folks trying to get better connected into Colorado, reach out to this group to get started!
