Meeting Format & Topic Submission: CDOC has revised its Citizen Advocate Meeting format. We are no longer accepting specific questions to be addressed at the meeting. The meetings will include a brief update at the beginning of the meeting from each division director. Thereafter, we will break out into small groups to allow for you to speak directly with subject matter experts to have your questions answered. If you have a topic you would like the division directors to include in their updates, please send it to cdoc@state.co.us
If you wish to sign up for the email invitation list for the meetings, please email cdoc@state.co.us and you will be added to the invitation list.
