Meet Us

The Business and Community Alliance of Colorado Springs is a group of local citizens who would like to broaden the role of Colorado College in Colorado Springs. As small-business owners, bankers, and corporate and non-profit community leaders, we have joined together to strengthen ties and demonstrate the mutual reliance of each to the other. In a sense, we are “ambassadors” for community relations.

Members of the Alliance bring the community to the campus, letting it see firsthand what the college does and how it impacts the Colorado Springs community.
