Colorado Forum to examine fiscal success of
Mesa State College
The Colorado Forum is a loose association of 65 members who include the chief
executives of Colorado businesses and leading professionals in the state. The
forum has visited the Grand Valley in the past, the most recent time paying
particular attention to the growing wine industry. In addition to education, the
Colorado Forum studies transportation infrastructure improvements, water,
health care, fiscal policy and the environment.
The Colorado Forum is nonpartisan and operates on consensus, but members
can use their political influence to affect issues of the day. In bringing the
Colorado Forum to Grand Junction, member Steve Meyer, president of Grand
Junction-based Shaw Construction, said he wanted to show the progress that
has been made at Mesa State College and “illustrate the funding problems and
challenges that higher education is having to face.” Other Grand Valley members
of the Colorado Forum include Mike Stahl, the chief executive officer of Hilltop
Community Resources, and Daily Sentinel Publisher Jay Seaton.
Having three of the 65 forum members from the Grand Valley speaks well of the
community involvement of business leaders here in the Grand Valley.
Forum members will meet today with Mesa State College President Tim Foster
and tour the Mesa State campus, then gather for their annual meeting Friday at
the Doubletree Hotel. It is the frugality and significant growth of Mesa State
College that brings the Colorado Forum to Grand Junction this week. It’s a
measure of the Colorado Forum’s interest in higher education that the members
want to hear from Foster.
