We're looking for leaders of Adams County businesses and employees in Adams County to join us for a roundtable discussion on childcare issues. We're hosting a lunch at our Westminster offices next Wednesday, August 19th if you'd like to join us! RSVP to [email protected]

Can Colorado solve its workforce shortage without addressing its child care issues?

Child care isn’t just an issue for young children, families and providers. It’s a workforce issue with measurable economic consequences.

Last month, 7 local chambers of commerce received grant funding to address local child care challenges facing their employees and communities.

👶 Adams County Regional Economic Partnership
👶 Aurora Chamber of Commerce
👶 Colorado Springs Chamber & EDC
👶 Grand Junction Area Chamber of Commerce
👶 Greater Arvada Chamber of Commerce
👶 Greater Pueblo Chamber of Commerce
👶 Greeley Area Chamber of Commerce

The support comes from the Child Care Access Alliance (CCAA), which is being led by the Colorado Chamber of Commerce alongside Executives Partnering to Invest in Children - EPIC and Gary Community Ventures.

Want to get involved with your local chamber on this work? Reach out to any of the chambers mentioned above.
