An Initiative of the Colorado Democratic Party

Democrats believe that quality public education is an investment in our economy and the foundation of our democracy. The Colorado Democratic Education Initiative (CoDEI) was founded in 2001 to provide a forum where we can discuss important education policy issues with one another and with Democratic education leaders – including state legislators, State Board of Education members, school board members, and candidates.

Annual Candidate Meet & Greet

The CO-DEI hosts monthly program meetings via Zoom on the third Friday of each month from 1:30-3:30 p.m. These meetings feature guest speakers from the education sector, policymakers, and legislators discussing topical issues. You must be a registered Democrat to attend. Please RSVP at right!

Join us for our Annual Candidate Meet and Greet on August 16th, 2024, from 1:30-3:30. We’ll break out into regions so candidates can share perspectives on education issues, and then hear reports from each region. This session is especially valuable for new candidates!
