Denver Leaders

Leadership is humans representing other humans.

Denver Leaders is a conversation about the inner life of leadership and its outward impact on a city.

Behind every public decision and private responsibility is a person. We bring civic and private leaders together to consider how that human experience shapes the way we lead—and the city we share.

Every conversation comes back to the systems Denver depends on and the leaders responsible for them.

Civically Speaking

One dinner. A chance to understand one another.

Hosted by Mia Gorman, Civically Speaking is a private dinner series for civic and private leaders, centered on moderated conversation.

The location may change. The commitment remains: a shared table, thoughtful questions, and time to listen.

The aim is to get everyone on the same page for one dinner—not to agree on everything, but to better understand the people and perspectives around the table.

Bring your perspective. Make room for another.
