Denver—(November 23, 2009)—On this week’s edition of “Colorado State of Mind,” the Emmy Award-winning program on Rocky Mountain PBS, Rocky Mountain PBS President and CEO Doug Price hosts a special holiday edition of the program. He will be joined by a panel of Colorado nonprofit CEOs for a discussion about charitable giving during difficult economic times.
How are Colorado foundations and nonprofits coping, and what is the ripple effect for the programs they support? The investment made by foundations and individuals in communities across the state usually has a multiplier effect in local economies. Has that changed in the past year of recession?
Guests joining host Doug Price:
- Sheila Bugdanowitz, president/CEO, Rose Community Foundation
- Wayne Hutchens, president/CEO, University of Colorado Foundation
- Christine Benero, president/CEO, Mile High United Way
- David Miller, president/CEO, The Denver Foundation
