We need your help to get the word out!

 

The Office of Information Technology’s (OIT) virtual Empathy lab aims to not only build on the ability to understand and share the feelings of another, but to also use that understanding to build sustainable, accessible, and equitable digital solutions that benefit the State of Colorado. 

 

In order to gain authentic experiences and stories from our Colorado communities to then help guide the direction of our digital products, the CSC will need to be made up of current State of Colorado residents that make up our diverse communities (State of Colorado employees, we will have other opportunities for your voices to be heard, the CSC will be reserved for those that are not current employees of the state).

Therefore, we ask that you reach out to your respective communities and networks to share the details of the CSC; its requirements; what we (OIT) can offer CSC members that are selected to serve; and encourage folks (like yourself) to complete the nomination form (linked below).

 

Learn more about the CSC and access the nomination form <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__oit.colorado.gov_csc-2Dmembers&d=DwMFaQ&c=sdnEM9SRGFuMt5z5w3AhsPNahmNicq64TgF1JwNR0cs&r=POXFNpI9lzB-36NXnN77zUaZUGHpZJgDLQuTybdO0vs&m=BXvfg2kdqWXy1yq-t7QiEJl41LCF95P37tyTdijYIS--Qc3eCqI3lCPSYFsZdM__&s=4cl6UjafI1pzNxr2PwpFVQ55fTttxKBGBjLkttwFpCQ&e=>

With gratitude,
