20th Anniversary
Cheers to 20 Years of Progressive Policymaking
As much as we’d love to see all of your faces and come together to celebrate 20 years of the Bell Policy Center, we know an in-person event isn’t possible this year. Instead, we invite you to honor the Bell’s champions and their ceaseless contributions to our work by joining us for a virtual event on Wednesday, December 9.
Despite 2020 not being what we expected, even a pandemic won’t stop us from celebrating two decades of hard-fought policy wins. We look forward to you joining us.
Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the United States Senate since 2009.

Before serving Coloradans in the Senate, Michael acted as superintendent of the Denver Public Schools and led one of the most extensive reform efforts in the country, resulting in substantial, sustained academic improvement for Denver’s children.
