Dear Friends of the Crested Butte Public Policy Forum,
Our Board has hard at work planning the 2026 season, with the goal of bringing a dynamic lineup of speakers to Crested Butte.
We are very close to having our lineup of amazing speakers confirmed.
I want to thank our dedicated Board members, our Executive Director, our interns, and the generous donors and community members who make this work possible. The Forum thrives because of your engagement, your curiosity, and your belief that informed citizens make stronger communities.
Thank you for your continued support and participation. Keep checking out the website and follow us on social media @cbpublicpolicyforum to see updates as we look forward to another inspiring, informative and though provoking speakers series for 2026!
Warmly,
Devon Cone
