CCI Foundation Corporate Partnership
Ensuring strong counties by strengthening the public/private partnership.
Partnerships for Progress
The CCI Foundation believes in partnerships. By working together with a shared vision, we can find solutions that benefit county governments in Colorado and the communities they represent. With this belief, the CCI Foundation has created the Corporate Partnership Program to help foster close relationships between businesses and local governments.
The CCI Foundation Corporate Partnership Program provides an opportunity for companies to forge relationships with county-elected officials by bringing them together for annual events and meetings.
Companies and organizations that work with county government on issues that focus on public policy, transportation, technology, legal, criminal justice, finance, land use, consulting and business, and leadership development will see value in becoming annual partners in the program as they build their relationships with the members of CCI Foundation.
The program has four partnership levels that allow for different types of participation, and we welcome companies of all sizes to consider becoming an annual partner. The CCI Foundation looks forward to enhancing our relationship with our private sector partners and working with our members to foster invaluable public-private partnerships.
For additional information and questions about this exciting marketing opportunity, please call Annie Olson at 303.861.4076.

Government organizations don’t always have the capital to replace aging fleet vehicles at the optimal time. Enterprise Fleet Management can help you reduce the age of your fleet within your budget by moving you from an owned, buy and hold fleet management approach to a more flexible program with a shortened cycle, meaning you can have newer – and safer – vehicles for the same investment (or less).
Your dedicated local Account Manager will provide a Fleet Cost Analysis showing the financial benefits of replacing vehicles, as well as the sustained average savings once all of your vehicles are newer and more reliable. We’ll also help you navigate county, government and municipality approval.

Special districts, as units of local government, fill a vital role in providing fire and rescue services; water and wastewater treatment and delivery; park and recreation amenities; hospitals; and libraries in many communities across Colorado. There are currently 2,677 such districts in the state, of which 1,592 are members of the Special District Association of Colorado (SDA). SDA was established in 1975 to provide legislative input, administrative support, and training opportunities for member districts. SDA is an effective lobbying and educational organization that strives to serve the needs of special districts and their locally elected Board members. In addition to district members, SDA also has 256 associate members who provide information and services for the operation and development of special districts. SDA is governed by an 11-member Board of Directors, which is elected by member districts. All SDA Board members must also serve on the Board of a special district. “Collaboration is key to the success of local government,” says Ann Terry, SDA’s Executive Director. “We are pleased to work closely with our county partners to help our members provide the best possible services for the citizens they serve.”
