Guest speakers included Craig Poupore, Vice President of MillerCoors’ Golden Valley Operations, Shannon Ambrosio, Senior Manager Brewing Materials and Malting, as well as Gloria Schoch, 2015 EXECs alum & Community Affairs at MillerCoors.

Rhonda Sparlin, the Colorado’s Chamber Incoming Board Chair, and Partner at Rubin Brown, addressed the graduating class and thanked them for their dedication to helping sustain a pro-business Colorado.
