Northwest Douglas County EDC Luncheon

Colorado’s Powerhouse – The Outdoor Recreation Industry
 
Colorado’s outdoor recreation industry is one of our prime and best sources for ongoing employment growth.  Northwest Douglas County is a perfect location for the outdoor recreation industry to grow and thrive. 
 
Chamber members are invited to the Northwest Douglas County Economic Development Corporation luncheon on March 29th to hear from Luis Benitez, Director of Colorado Office of Outdoor Recreation Industry. 
 
Luis Benitez was a mountain guide for more than 20 years (summiting Everest six times). He also led Colorado Outward Bound and Outward Bound Professionals, worked in talent development for Vail Resorts, created a successful corporate consulting business drawing on lessons he learned in the mountains, and served on the Eagle Town Council, where he helped the town harness its outdoor recreation resources to bolster its economy.
 
There will also be a brief update on the Chatfield Reservoir Project.  Tom Browning, General Manager of Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company, will provide attendees with an update on the project.
