Where in Colorado?
CRC is truly a statewide organization. In May alone, we will be in Alamosa, La Junta, Pueblo, Durango, Gunnison, Grand Junction (at least twice!), Fort Collins, Telluride, Palisade, Glenwood Springs, and Steamboat Springs. We are going to start covering some of these trips on this blog, Around Colorado with CRC, because we learn something interesting about nonprofit management, best practices, or collaboration each time we hit the road and we want to share this information with our colleagues across Colorado.
We will also be featuring a monthly "Where in Colorado?" piece of trivia in our e-newsletter, the E-Line, based upon our recent travels. We are starting with an easy one (no cheating via Google). The first person to correctly identify the location of the photo (above) by posting the location below will receive a free copy of CRC's to-be-released toolkit, Fundraising: Essential Strategies for Fundraising Success During an Economic Downturn.
Any ideas?
