Great Education Colorado Luncheon

Great Education Colorado presented our Inaugural Luncheon on September 21 at the Denver Athletic Club honoring former State Treasurer Cary Kennedy for her achievements on behalf of the children and schools of Colorado.

Cary Kennedy has been a champion for public education. When it comes to public education, nobody embodies action, leadership, creativity, and passion better than Cary Kennedy. We honor Cary for her remarkable accomplishments: spearheading the successful citizen initiative in 2000 to reverse school funding cuts; crafting innovative solutions to Colorado’s budget knots; and designing the Building Excellent Schools Today (BEST) program, under which dozens of crumbling, unsafe school buildings throughout Colorado are being renovated and replaced.

Read the letter from Great Ed Executive Director Liane Morrison about why we honored Cary Kennedy.
