Our History• For 7 years we have been creating networks,

linking people, and supporting collaborative efforts.

We began publishing ICOSA in September 2008 because we saw a need to share stories of successful collaborations. By sharing stories of collaboration, we hope to bring community “connectors” together to work toward the greater good of the community at large.

Our goal is to make Colorado the “Collaboration Capital of the World.”

successful collaboration. We help facilitate dynamic cooperation, partnerships, & assistance among individuals, businesses, communities, governmental bodies, & educational organizations to help foster growth & change.

We fulfill this mission by collaborating with community leaders, training & education activities, networking & events, and sharing of best practices.
