Our Priorities

good governance

Open Boulder’s governance vision? A city that harnesses the ideas and concerns of people who are often too busy with life to engage politically – working people, students, seniors, families, and others –and is responsive to what the majority of its residents want.

As a data-driven agent of change, Open Boulder uses forums, panel discussions, surveys, Q&A events, and social media to measure community concerns and communicate those concerns to decision makers. Open Boulder has committed to an open source, community member-centric approach that emphasizes government transparency, collaboration and accessibility.
