Civic Results Programs

In addition to the civic engagement, and community based planning work we do, Civic Results manages three special programs in the Denver metro region: the Metro Mayors Caucus; the Metro Denver Health and Wellness Commission, and the Livable Communities Support Center.

Founded in 1993, the Metro Mayors Caucus (Caucus) is comprised of 39 mayors from the Denver region. The Caucus promotes cooperation, consensus and collaboration as means of effectively addressing complex regional issues. To this end, the Caucus provides a non-confrontational arena for the discussion of common issues and multi- jurisdictional challenges.

The Caucus uses consensus based decision making and collaboration to reach agreement and address issues of mutual concern. This commitment to consensus, unique among regional organizations, has allowed the Caucus to reach consensus on issues that have divided the region in other forums. Our members reach consensus by listening carefully to each other’s opinions and concerns, exploring possible options and searching for solutions that reflect the needs and values of each of our members.

The Metro Denver Health and Wellness Commission is working to make metro Denver America's Healthiest Community with a focus on promoting programs and policies that improve physical, environmental and mental health across all sectors of our community.

The MDHWC is working together to implement a strategic plan focused on metropolitan Denver that emphasizes home, school, employer and community based strategies to stem or reverse growth in Colorado's obesity rate. The MDHWC also researches and compiles measurements to benchmark our region's progress.

Established with initial support from the Center for Human Nutrition at UCDHSC, Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation, the Metro Mayors Caucus, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, the Denver Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau, America on the Move, and other key stakeholders, the MDHWC is managed by Civic Results.

The patterns of development in our communities are more than ever linked to the health of our economies, the health of our environment, and the health of our population. The Livable Communities Support Center (LCSC) exists to provide information, strategies, and direct support to individuals, organizations, and communities that wish to help make their neighborhoods, cities and regions more sustainable, more active, and more prosperous.
