On January 28, 2026, Colorado Business Roundtable hosted its annual State of the State event at the Denver Art Musem. At that event, we took a look at Colorado’s progress in recent years and the priorities that will shape its long-term competitiveness. We had a forward-looking dialogue on what the future demands from both policymakers and employers. After short opening remarks, Governor Polis participated in a moderated Q&A with executives from some of Colorado’s leading employers. The members of the panel were:

David Coors – Chairman and Head of Business Relations at Molson Coors Beverage Company

Erin Waggoner – Senior Director of State and Local Government Affairs at Verizon

George Sparks – CEO of Denver Museum of Nature and Science

Debbie Brown – President of Colorado Business Roundtable
