Colorado ASPIRE Board Members

Your 2024-2025 Colorado ASPIRE Board is looking forward to an exciting and beautifully challenging year! The board is looking forward to more in-person events as well as keeping virtual components and making all events accessible. The executive board is here to represent you and support your programs. We hope to visit with you during the State Meetings, conferences and other events throughout the year. Remember, we must work together to advocate for TRIO participants who do not have a voice and need our services. TRIO works and TRIO is the future!
