Together, we can help companies support a stronger workforce today, while increasing access to quality child care and early education that will set Colorado’s workforce of tomorrow ahead of the pack.

Jared PolisColorado Governor

EPIC has been a strong voice in bringing awareness to the obstacles women in the workforce face, and their innovative work helps our state implement responsible solutions that address child care challenges faced by Colorado families and employers. We are thankful for their leadership and are proud to call them a partner.

Kristin StrohmPresident & CEO, COMMON SENSE INSTITUTE (CSI)

Quality early care and education is rare and expensive. EPIC – a coalition of smart, compassionate business leaders – is working to change that. Helping my employees address the wellbeing of their children has had a positive impact on increasing productivity and lowering turnover. Putting early care and education at the top of our national priorities is not just a moral imperative, it is also a financial one.

David MerageCEO, Consolidated Investment Group

EPIC is vital to the business community, today and into multiple future generations. There is nothing more important than giving each child born in Colorado a chance to thrive and become a future business leader within the Colorado community.

Gregory Anton CPAPartner, BDO USA

EPIC is making a significant impact to break the chain of generational poverty through early childhood intervention. Their advocacy and workplace initiatives are making a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of so many children.

Christine BeneroPresident and CEO, Mile High United Way

As longtime champions of accessible, quality early childhood education and care, PNC Bank and EPIC both understand how critical this work is not only to young people, but to the future of our community and economy.

EPIC is a unique advocacy organization that bridges the divide between the business sector and very young children. They mobilize business leaders and equip their members with resources and techniques to better support working parents.
