Continuity of Operations (COOP) Workshops, September 24 and 25, 2019

Jefferson County is partnering with BOLDplanning, a company specializing in continuity, emergency and mitigation planning, to allow all Colorado municipalities/counties to join in the County’s upcoming COOP Refresher/Advanced Workshops.

The company’s experienced and well-credentialed facilitators will also show participants how to simplify the planning process, and offer recommendations for plan improvement. Every workshop participant, regardless of planning experience or familiarity with BOLDplanning and its online software, will benefit from these highly informative and interactive workshops.  

All workshops, which will be conducted September 24 and 25, 2019, will be held in  Jefferson County, located at 800 Jefferson County Parkway, Dakota Building Training Room. Each will run from 8:00 AM – 12:00 Noon CDT and 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM each day.
