Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser |
Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser was sworn in as the State’s 39th Attorney General on January 8, 2019. As the state’s chief legal officer, Attorney General Weiser is committed to protecting the people of Colorado and building an innovative and collaborative organization that will address a range of statewide challenges, from addressing the opioid epidemic to improving our criminal justice system to protecting consumers to protecting our land, air, and water. Attorney General Weiser has dedicated his life to the law, justice, and public service. Before running for office, Weiser served as the Hatfield Professor of Law and Dean of the University of Colorado Law School, where he founded the Silicon Flatirons Center for Law, Technology, and Entrepreneurship and co-chaired the Colorado Innovation Council. Weiser served as a Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the U.S. Department of Justice and as Senior Advisor for Technology and Innovation in the Obama Administration’s National Economic Council. He served on President Obama’s Transition Team, overseeing the Federal Trade Commission and previously served in President Bill Clinton’s Department of Justice as senior counsel to the Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Antitrust Division, advising on telecommunications matters. Before his appointment at the Justice Department, Weiser served as a law clerk to Justices Byron R. White and Ruth Bader Ginsburg at the United States Supreme Court and to Judge David Ebel at the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver, Colorado. The son and grandson of Holocaust survivors, Weiser is deeply committed to the American Dream and ensuring opportunity for all Coloradans. Weiser lives in Denver with his wife, Dr. Heidi Wald, and their two children. |

Colorado State Treasurer Dave Young |
Dave Young is a native Coloradan who never thought that he would run for public office. He started his career as an educator, teaching math, science, and technology at Heath Junior High in Greeley for 24 years. He then went on to teach at CU Denver for another decade and worked in the private tech sector for about four years. While Dave loved being an educator, he became interested in running for public office because of the challenges his sister faces as a person with disabilities. He knew he couldn’t stand idly by as his sister and others like her continued to struggle accessing essential services. In 2011, he decided to run for office. That year, Dave was elected to the Colorado House of Representatives. He served on House Public Health Care and Human Services, Education, Health, Insurance and Environment, Transportation, and Appropriations committees where he worked across party lines to pass influential legislation. In 2014, Dave was appointed to the powerful Joint Budget Committee (JBC). For four years, he worked with a split party JBC to develop a balanced budget for the State of Colorado. In 2018, Dave ran for State Treasurer and won. Dave was sworn in as State Treasurer in 2019. He has spearheaded several economic justice initiatives, including Colorado SecureSavings and the CLIMBER Loan Program. He was reelected for a second term in 2022. Dave is married to State Representative Mary Young, Ph.D. Dave’s sister lives in Pueblo. |

The Senate Republican caucus elected Chris to the position of Senate Majority Leader (2017-18) and twice elected him unanimously to the position of Senate Minority Leader (2019-2022). Senator Holbert also served as the legislative member of the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority board of directors (2017-18). Chris was previously a member of the Colorado House of Representatives, having been elected in November 2010 and reelected in 2012 as Representative of House District 44, which included the communities of Parker and Lone Tree Colorado.

During that time, Chris also served as a member of Habitat for Humanity of Colorado board of directors. Following the 2022 Colorado legislative session and seven months prior to his term limit, Chris resigned from Colorado Senate. Chris and Diane, his wife, relocated to Florida to be closer to family. Diane’s career has focused on the financial services industry, while Chris provides consulting services in the areas of government relations and effective advocacy.

Convention and Retreat Noticing
Colorado's Open Meetings Law requires full and timely notice to the public when a quorum of the board is gathering and "public business is discussed or at which any formal action may be taken." C.R.S. 24-6-402.
One or more members of the [insert district name] board of education will be attending the Colorado Association of School Board's Annual Convention on December 7-9, 2023. The purpose of this event is for board members to engage in professional learning--it is not to conduct public business of the local district or engage in formal action. While notice is not required pursuant to C.R.S. 24-6-402, the Board believes in transparency and therefore is providing this information regarding the event.
