Colorado Business Roundtable would like to thank all who have served our great country. |
Colorado Business Committee for the Arts (CBCA)'s Economic Activity Study of Metro Denver Culture saw record-breaking employment in the nonprofit cultural sector, increase in new money from cultural tourists and capital spending, and growth in attendance. The continued success of the arts is due in great part to the citizen-supported Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD), a special tax district that funds arts, cultural and scientific organizations in the metro area, celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.

In comments today to the Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), Business Roundtable urged the Administration to work to harmonize privacy regulation by countries, states and local governments. Such "fragmentation" is not in the consumer's interest and threatens the global digital economy by restricting the flow of data across borders, wrote Julie Sweet, Chief Executive Officer of Accenture North America and Chair of the Business Roundtable Technology Committee. "As a first step, the United States should eliminate fragmentation within our own borders by establishing a comprehensive and consistent national privacy law, which does not exist today," Sweet wrote. The comments noted that Business Roundtable is developing a framework for legislation that strengthens protections for consumers, achieves greater transparency and supports innovation.
