Welcome to Colorado NAHRO’s Annual Maintenance and Management Conference! This year’s theme is Success in Action. You all work very hard to help families and communities, and in this era of reduced funding, we continue to generate many successes through your dedication. I personally want to thank you for all of your hard work.

In these economically challenged times of reduced budgets and “doing more with less”, your commitment to attending this conference is sincerely appreciated. With continued constraints placed on federal, state, and local budgets, the exchange of ideas, professional education, and networking opportunities provided by the Colorado NAHRO Conference all become increasingly important.

We are fortunate to hold this year’s conference in the great city of Fort Collins. Fort Collins was founded as a military outpost of the United States Army in 1864. The post’s namesake was Colonel William Collins. It succeeded a previous encampment known as Camp Collins, which is near what is now known as the town of Laporte. Today, Fort Collins is known for its high tech work force, Colorado State University, superior quality of life, and, of course, beer!

A lot has happened since we last met in Breckenridge. Colorado NAHRO has worked diligently for regulatory relief. In order to see where relief could be provided, letters requesting a thorough review of HUD’s regulations were sent to each member of Colorado’s Congressional delegation and were followed up by meetings with Congressional staffers in Washington D.C. and Colorado. To make sure our concerns were heard, we worked closely with the national NAHRO staff on bills that were moving through the U.S. House of Representatives. When we unite through NAHRO, our mission of enhancing affordable housing and promoting viable communities in Colorado will be heard!

We worked hard to make this year’s conference the best ever. A variety of breakout sessions await as well as exciting general sessions from diverse speakers who will engage you to really think about the future of housing and community development in Colorado.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to thank all of our sponsors and vendors for their commitment to this conference. Their support is critical to the continued success of our conference. Please take a moment to thank them during your stay here. I would also like to acknowledge another key group, the conference planning committee; we truly appreciate the hard work you all put towards organizing this year’s event. Our host agency, the Fort Collins Housing Authority, did a tremendous job assuring that we will enjoy what Fort Collins has to offer. Thanks to all of the volunteers who donate hundreds of hours of their time to make the conference a continued success.

Once again, welcome to the conference and may you all discover more ways to put Success into Action!
