Today I was honored to spend some quality time with Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, discussing our mutual commitment to Denver, Colorado and its constituents.  We discussed his bold yet practical vision for the continued growth of Denver, focused squarely on encouraging entrepreneurship and job creation (and of course education), amongst other priorities.  Likewise, I shared my vision for Project 5117 (more on this later), which includes America 2020 and HOPE Inside.

The mayor and his team likewise welcomed the Operation HOPE family into Denver, Colorado as a full partner in his vision, and likewise, the mayor and mayor's office in our work.

We will be outlining in greater detail the framework of and for our partnership in weeks to come.  For now, let me just say that this is one smart, sharp and focused leader.  The Denver community is fortunate to have him.
