My life is full of diverse interests, but really, leadership and worm bins? Hand on a Bible, true.

This week I’m attending a Collaborative Leader workshop at Healing Leaders down in beautiful McElmo Canyon, just outside of Cortez.  What's it all about?

According to the website  www.healingleaders.net,  “a healing leader is one who creates an environment of open communication, respect for each person’s role and contributions, a common, compelling vision for the organization and a collaborative ethic.”

Conditions on the mountain are near perfect: The Telluride Ski Resort exceeded the 200-inch snow mark yesterday morning. Thirty-three inches of light, fluffy powder have fallen over the last seven days, for a total accumulation of 205"  (or 17 feet ) for the season. Now, with sunny skies peeking through, Telluride is the perfect destination for Spring break.

“This was a great storm,” said Dave Riley, CEO of the resort. “Now 17 feet of snow has fallen at Telluride, and we can boast a six-foot base. With these great conditions and numerous March specials, it makes sense to book a Telluride vacation today."

[click "Play", an anonymous client speaks about WestCap and how Telluride AIDS benefit helped him]

The Western Colorado AIDS Project (WestCAP), the primary beneficiary of the Telluride AIDS Benefit,  was established as a grassroots initiative in 1989, just four years after "the virus" was announced in our nation's capitol as big trouble.


In 1994, WestCAP was still a very small nonprofit operating out of Grand Junction, administered largely by one part-time nurse. Clients being served lived primarily in Mesa County. Then along came Robert Presley, whom WestCAP helped in his struggle with HIV/AIDS. In thanks, Presley and his local legacy, the Telluride AIDS Benefit, reached out to WestCAP, supporting the growth of the agency into a much larger and more effective nonprofit.
