  • The Colorado Regulators Roundtable welcomes agency leaders from three states to a panel discussion focused on the challenges, concerns and issues facing jurisdictions across the nation. Developing issues of concern in one state may be an omen for future developments across the country. Similarly, problems addressed and solved in one state may provide a similar avenue of success in another; and legislative initiatives, whether state specific or federally initiated, know no boundaries. Join us for a unique opportunity to hear regulatory leaders from across the nation discuss those most current and critical issues.
