GOV. RITTER’S NEW 2008 BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS BOOK NOW AVAILABLE

Fifty-page booklet lists hundreds of opportunities for Coloradans to get involved
and serve on a statewide board or commission

The new 2008 Colorado Boards and Commissions booklet is now available in hard copy or on-line, describing opportunities for Coloradans to serve on nearly 300 panels that oversee issues ranging from health care to air quality and transportation to the arts.

Gov. Ritter will have an opportunity to appoint thousands of Coloradans to the many boards and commissions that will help determine Colorado’s future.

“These boards offer an ideal opportunity for people all across the state to get involved and make a difference,” Gov. Ritter said. “We need our citizens to be engaged so we can keep making progress in the areas where we already excel and overcome obstacles where we face challenges.”
