Summary Brochure


The State of the Valley Symposium is an
annual forum to explore the health and wealth
of the Roaring Fork and Colorado River Valleys.

This year's symposium focused on
economic development.


Given the changes in the world since the
financial collapse in 2008,

this year’s symposium looks at local
investment tools and opportunities

to build the strength of our local and
regional economy.
