On July 1, 2010 Governor Ritter signed legislation establishing Colorado Creative Industries as a division of the Office of Economic Development and International Trade. Colorado Creative Industries combines the former Colorado Council on the Arts, the Office of Film, Television and Media and the Art in Public Places Program.

The final plan will be ready this fall, but our mission and program priorities are coming into focus:

About Westerra Credit Union:

In 1934, eight visionary leaders organized DPS Credit Union, a not-for-profit financial cooperative, owned and controlled by the members who use its services.

The Credit Union’s name was changed to Westerra Credit Union in 2006 to better reflect its growing and diverse membership. DPS Credit Union and Safeway Rocky Mountain Credit Union merged in 2005, followed by the merger of Gateway Credit Union in in 2006 and Jeffco Credit Union in 2009.
