Session: Beyond the Pandemic: Social, Political and Economic Change

Colorado, and our country, have changed greatly over the past 18 months. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cast a long shadow, changing how we live and work, but an increased awareness of social and economic justice also is changing how we view policy, politics, and the path forward. Bold predictions have been made of what the “new normal” may look like, but what will be the key take-aways from this historic period? What are the permanent shifts and what are simply the passing trends? This panel of experts will unpack the lasting impacts from a political, social, and economic perspective and share thoughts of how we map our future.
