New Arapahoe County GOP candidates and those running for reelection were introduced gathering interest around the state

In addition to plenty of Arapahoe County attendees for the sold-out crowd at DoubleTree by Hilton DTC, there was plenty of interest and support of guests from other counties including Douglas, Jefferson and Denver.

Also in the spotlight was Nancy Sharpe who received the prestigious Dorothy J. Vogt Award. Sharpe began her public service to Arapahoe County years ago on the Planning and Zoning Commission of Greenwood Village. Next, she was elected to its city council and later became mayor.

She wasn’t finished serving and was elected a county commissioner and served for 12 years. This past December, Commissioner Sharpe was honored by Human Services Directors from around Colorado for her work advancing health and human services programs. As a commissioner, she served on local and state committees including: National Association of Counties, Human Services and Education Steering Committee; Colorado Counties, Inc. Health and Human Services Steerinfg Committee; Governor Appointee, Colorado Executive Leadership Council on Child Welfare, the Works Allocation and Child Welfare Allocation Committees; Governor’s Appointee - Colorado Elder Abuse Taskforce. Nancy’s friends say that one key to her successful leadership is that she is generous with her time, she listens carefully and takes what is said to heart. Arapahoe County is lucky to have had her leadership! Congrat-

Nancy!
