KARL KUMLI, THE NEW "FELLOW" AT THE BIGHORN CENTER FOR PUBLIC POLICY LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Fall 2005

Karl Kumli has been selected as a Fellow at The Bighorn Center for Public Policy Leadership Development.  This highly competitive fellowship focuses on issues of Resource Sustainability.  The program, which runs for 12 days over the Fall of 2005 brings together leaders from throughout Colorado for substantive seminars and leadership training on public policy issues involving energy, water and land development.  Karl has been pleased to find that the forty fellows, from a diverse set of backgrounds and perspectives, share his commitment to learning and to the free exchange of ideas concerning critical issues of resource use and allocation.

The Bighorn Center was created in 1999 to give Colorado's political "middle" a credible and legitimate voice in the state's increasingly polarized landscape and more importantly, to get things done.  The concept was to bring together leaders from both parties, good ideas (best practices) from other states, the private sector, and to use objective data and research in order to identify, develop and advocate public policies that improve the lives of Coloradoans.  As part of the mission, the Bighorn Center actively recruits and trains leaders who share these values through a bi-partisan leadership development program.
