New Member Welcome

Please help to welcome Alec Montoya as a new member of our club! Alec just wrapped up his final semester at CSU. At graduation he celebrated attaining his Finance degree with a concentration in Financial Planning, as well as a minor in Economics. Alec currently holds his Series 7 and 66. Alec became intrigued with the dynamic financial markets in the wake of the credit crisis. After seeing his neighbors, friends, and family struggle through the frightening time he pledged to become an expert in the markets. During his career he plans to focus his expertise on growing and protecting client’s assets. As a Registered Representative at LPL Financial he has been exposed to valuable experience and opportunities.

Legacy Fund 100th Anniversary Goal
Our Club’s 100th anniversary is just two years away, August 1, 2018!  To celebrate this significant milestone, the Club’s Legacy Fund is working to reach $1,000,000 by that date.  The Legacy Fund’s moto is “Service in Action Forever” which will be assured by earnings from the Fund.  We are well on the way to the goal with both cash gifts and bequests.  Thanks to all who have pledged a quarterly gift to the Legacy Fund and made a Legacy designation in their will or trust.

Our Stories
8/24/16 Program: Does Colorado Matter? And What Does Matter?
Most can’t wait for November 6 to arrive, so we can return to ‘Normalcy’ (where ever that is…).  Regardless, this week RCFC will do a political dive-deep, hearing analysis and prognostications from CSU Professor of Political Science, John Straayer, who has been considered by Colorado and national media the go-to source for commentary on Colorado politics.  Straayer will be introduced by our own Political Science heavyweight, Dr. Bob Lawrence.  
 
John Straayer, joined the CSU faculty in 1967, after receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Arizona; The end of this academic year will mark a half-century on the CSU faculty.   He chaired the Political Science department from 1972 to 1987, served two terms as faculty representative on the CSU Board of Governors and has directed an internship program with the Colorado General Assembly for nearly four decades, placing over 1,000 students.  

Straayer’s prime academic interests have been Colorado politics and his writings include a dozen books and a variety of articles and book chapters.  His study of the Colorado legislature, entitled The Colorado General Assembly (1990, 2000), has been described by the Colorado State Publication Library as the classic work on the general assembly.
