Board of Directors
The National Western Center Authority is a Colorado nonprofit that will program, operate and maintain the campus. The actions of the Authority are guided by a 13-person board of directors.
Voting board members include: nine mayoral appointees, which include two voting Globeville, Elyria or Swansea residents.
