Q&A with Alumnus Pat Meyers '87, Colorado’s Chief Economic Recovery Officer

After a successful and eclectic career in law, restaurants, politics, and the Navy, 2020 brought CU Denver alumnus Pat Meyers ’87 back into public service once again as part of Colorado’s COVID Innovation Response Team. As 2021 ushered in a new set of challenges, in April, Meyers accepted the position of Colorado’s Chief Economic Recovery Officer and the Executive Director of the Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT).

Considering CU Denver’s own strategic goal of an innovative future, Meyers was the perfect person to offer perspective on what’s in store for Denver and the state. CU Denver News sat down with Meyers to learn more about his new role, how his CU Denver education prepared him for leadership positions, and how the university continues to support the state’s workforce development.
