Session: ​Ballot Battles –  Lessons Learned​

​The oil and natural gas industry in Colorado is no stranger to contending with issues on the Colorado ballot. In a state where the ballot process is accessible to special interests, citizen groups and activists, the industry certainly isn’t the only one subjected to these ballot battles.  Transportation, growth, housing and health care are frequent issues that require the leadership and engagement of the business and civic community.  What lessons can we learn from each other?  This session will dive into the who, what and why that drives these ballot issues, and identify the opportunities for us to support each other going forward.

2020 Panelist Profile | Q&A with María 

​Have you attended The Energy Summit before? As a guest or panelist?

No

Why do you think your panel topic is critical in the oil and natural gas industry at this time? 

An adequate supply of safe and affordable housing, particularly homeownership, is critical to stabilizing the workforce on which all businesses rely.  Anti-growth initiatives and exclusionary land use policies are a threat to addressing the severe shortage of affordable housing in our state.

How would you recommend that someone stays current on these issues if they are interested or want to know more?

Check out Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver’s Website:

Any great books or binge-worthy shows to recommend?
