The Boulder Tomorrow Board of Directors formally approved four new Board members at their August
10, 2015 Board meeting. The first meeting to include the new Directors was on September 21, 2015.
The new members were interviewed individually by a Board committee prior to being recommended;
Executive Director Dan Powers visited many times with them each over the prior 6 – 9 months as well.
Each have attended Boulder Tomorrow membership events and inquired about Boulder Tomorrow
policy advocacy efforts, demonstrating an alignment and insight to our mission. Each new Director
brings a younger perspective to the notion of what Boulder’s business community can and should
champion as attributes in shaping the evolution of the city.
