Tricia Smith, Formerly with Southwest Airlines, Joins CACI
Tricia Smith, a 14-year veteran of Southwest Airlines, has
joined CACI as the Director of Programs and Resources. In this
position, she will be working closely with Denise Reeves, CACI
Vice President of Programs and Resources, in, among other
things, the planning and execution of CACI events.
Tricia has become well-known to the metro-Denver business
community since coming to Denver from Nashville in January 2009
as the Southwest District Marketing Manager.
During her time with Southwest, Tricia worked in many areas,
including training, management, public relations, governmental
affairs, community relations, marketing, operations, customer
service, employee incentives, volunteer programs, budget and
charitable giving. She attended Nicholls State University in
Louisiana on a “full-ride” softball scholarship and later earned
a B.S. in business administration from California State
University at Chico.
While working in Denver for Southwest, which is a CACI member,
Tricia participated in various CACI events and policy councils.
In particular, she participated last year in the CACI “fly-in”
to Washington, D.C., sponsored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce,
to lobby Colorado’s congressional delegation against the
union-backed “card-check” bill.
To contact Tricia, please call her at 330.866.9629 or e-mail her

Legislative Candidate Interview Dates Set; CACI Members Invited
to Participate by First Contributing to CACI’s PAC
CACI will be working hard in the coming weeks and months to
create a pro-business legislature next year with the endorsement
and financial support of pro-business legislative candidates,
both incumbents and new, who will listen to employers’ concerns.
To that end, CACI will hold interviews on June 22nd
and June 23rd and again on June 28th and
29th for new legislative candidates. Should more
time be needed, interviews will be held on July 14th
and 15th if necessary.
Members can participate in the interviews by first contributing
$500 to CACI’s Colorado Business Political Action Committee
(CB-PAC). Individuals and companies can contribute up to $500
during the two-year, 2009-2010 election cycle to a political
action committee such as CACI’s CB-PAC. CACI members who wish
to contribute to CB-PAC should contact Denise Reeves, CACI Vice
President of Events and Programs, at 303.866.9622 or via e-mail
at
dreeves@COchamber.com Or checks for $500 made out to the
Colorado Business Political Action Committee can simply be
mailed to CACI.
Members who contribute to CB-PAC will receive a candidate
summary, which will include background, campaign contributions,
his or her campaign status and legislative district
demographics. Each day, the interviews will run from 9 a.m.
until 12 Noon, with a lunch break until 1:30 p.m. when the
interviews will resume, ending by 5 p.m. Each candidate will be
granted a half-hour interview. At the end of each interview,
there will be time for discussion with the candidate.
CACI Members Urged to Individually Contribute $50 to CACI’s
Small-Donor Committee
Under Colorado’s campaign finance laws, an individual can
contribute $50 per calendar year to a small-donor committee.
CACI’s small-donor committee contribution can be an important
factor in the financial support of pro-business legislative
candidates in tight races. During the 2008 election campaign,
the CACI Prosperity Fund supported six legislative candidates in
key races. Any individual can contribute to CACI’s small-donor
committee, The Colorado Prosperity Fund. Please mail
personal checks for $50 made out to The Colorado Prosperity
Fund to the CACI Office to the attention of Dan Pilcher.
