2025 Colorado Health Symposium

Fortifying the Movement in Volatile Times

The 2025 Colorado Health Symposium is a dynamic space for nonprofit leaders, grassroots organizers, community advocates and policy changemakers to come together, share bold ideas and take action toward a more just and sustainable future. As we navigate uncertainty, this year’s theme, Fortifying the Movement in Volatile Times, reflects the resilience of those leading change and the strategies needed to sustain and strengthen collective efforts in achieving health equity and racial justice.

Guided by community input, this year’s Symposium will focus on three critical areas: 

1. Advocacy, Policy Navigation and Impact – Mobilizing communities, shaping policies and navigating government processes to drive meaningful change.
    
2. Messaging and Narrative Change – Strengthening storytelling, engaging media, selecting the right audiences and using power mapping to grow movements toward health equity and racial justice.
    
3. Nonprofit Sustainability – Exploring long-term strategies to strengthen operational resilience and sustainability.
