The RMP Team
We have formed a 501(c)(3) that employs a dedicated team, separate from participating organizations, to drive the shared work.
Our dedicated team brings partners doing work in priority areas together so everyone can do their pieces well in a more coordinated way, and also helps to fill the gaps for what is not already in place to meet our goals.
Current Team Members
Below are the current members of the RMP Team. The RMP Team is committed to ensure it includes individuals that represent the community served by the Rocky Mountain Partnership, and is proud to be an active participant in the network’s ‘Improved Hiring, Retention, and Employee Advancement‘ strategy alongside other employers.
