This month, our host Jim Williams – a trustee of the Community Foundation and Dean Emeritus of University Libraries at CU Boulder – discussed the 2020 Census with Amanda Gonzalez, Executive Director of Colorado Common Cause. It may seem premature to discuss a topic that's a year-and-a-half away, but it turns out there’s lots to understand – now – about what the Census is used for, how the data is collected, and what's at stake.

This month – in light of the recent Masterpiece Bakery v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission ruling – we'll be discussing the effects of the ruling, the persistent challenges faced by our LGBTQ community, and how to better support marginalized family members, friends, and neighbors. Joining host Jim Williams, a member of our Board of Trustees, is Mardi Moore, Executive Director of Out Boulder County, and psychologist Glenda Russell, who has conducted research on the psychological impact of political events on marginalized populations, and psychological resilience in the face of political attacks.

Host Jim Williams, Dean Emeritus, University Libraries for CU Boulder, and a Trustee for the Community Foundation Boulder County, takes a look at the recent tax legislation and its implication for philanthropy.

Guests are Brian Nuttall, a shareholder with Kingsbery, Baris, Vogel, and Nuttall CPAS since 1997, and Shelly Merritt, an attorney with more than 20 years' experience representing individuals, families, and businesses. Shelly has expertise in estate planning and is a former Trustee of the Community Foundation.

In so many ways, our community is thriving ... but for many, it’s getting increasingly challenging to make it work here. Join the Community Foundation Boulder County for "A Public Affair" to hear a discussion about the local economy – and Boulder County housing concerns and opportunities – with Ann Cooper, a local realtor and former Community Foundation trustee, and Audrey Johnson, Director of Programs with EFAA.
