A Western Colorado coalition has scheduled a series of meetings in Pagosa Springs.

Club 20 will host its summer policy committee meetings July 13 and 14 at the Archuleta County Fairgrounds.

“We are grateful for the opportunity to have discussions centered around some of the biggest issues impacting our region and have knowledgeable committee chairs and members to help guide our advocacy efforts throughout the state,” said Brittany Dixon, executive director of Club 20.

The agenda for July 13 will include federal updates and meetings of the telecommunications, health care and education and work force committees. A networking reception is set for 4 to 5:30 p.m. at the Geothermal Greenhouse Project.

The agenda for July 14 also will include federal updates as well as meetings of the transportation and tourism and outdoor recreation committees.

The meetings also will be available for virtual participation through Zoom.

Dixon said a range of issues will be discussed during the two-day gathering, including agritourism, behavioral health, rural hospital payments and transportation safety. The former director of the Colorado Department of Education will offer an update on education.

The meetings are open to the public with a lunch fee of $10. Participants are asked to register, however, at the Club 20 website at www.club20.org.

Club 20 represents businesses, individuals, governments and tribes in Western Colorado.

“Club 20 is celebrating 70 years of elevating the voice of Western Colorado through the work of our policy committees,” Dixon said.
