Wondering how legislators stacked up when voting on COPA's priorities this year?

Here's an overview of where representatives and senators sat in the 2026 legislative season. For our purposes, "in alignment" means the legislator aligned with 75% or more of our bill decisions.

For more information about COPA's bills, check out our full legislative wrap-up on our website: https://coprovidersassociation.org/2026/05/29/copas-2026-legislative-scorecard/

Thank you to Lisa Ward and the rest of the Frontline Public Affairs team for making it happen!

❔ What did people find most valuable at the 2026 Peer Workforce Collaborative? ​

Relevance, clarity, and depth. These were the main themes mentioned in the 2026 attendee feedback! Each year, PWC trainers ensure their training topics actually apply to peer specialist work, so everyone can walk out feeling confident with their new skills.

Thank you to all the trainers who made it happen: Sparkle Lindsay, Liz Richards at HardBeauty, Ty Jackson at Serenity Recovery Connection, Dë Waldron from Advocates for Recovery Colorado Non-Profit, Stacy Jones and Doty Shepard from Resilient Colorado.

One of last year's COPA Outstanding Employee award winners was Rande Gaier. She is a paramount part of CHOW's many programs that support the wellbeing of industry workers across the state of Colorado. ​

Want to know more about each winner's story? You're in luck! We wrote profile articles on many of the 2025 winners. Each has a unique behavioral health journey very much worth reading. ​

Representative Jackson's team asked us to share this opportunity in honor of our work together during this session, particularly in her leadership on HB26-1271, Alcohol Impact and Recovery Enterprises! COPA is unaffiliated with Rep. Jackson's re-election campaign.
