Presentation: Not in Our Lifetime – The Boulder County Flood of 2013
David Hollingsworth – Former Floodplain Manager, City of Longmont
The 2013 Boulder County Flood is one of the largest floods in the history of Colorado with over 17 inches of rain in 4 days. The City of Longmont was located at the center of this flood. Longmont had 5 creeks at or above flood stage. The City spent 20 years constructing channel improvements including 3 large projects in the 3 years prior to the flood. These 3 projects saved over $60 million of potential damages. This presentation documents these projects and how they affected the extent of the flooding with photos and overhead videos. It also shows the power and unconventional nature of water as it determines its own path during the storm and the work to put the stormwater back into the channel to end the flood. Flood videos and photos will be included.

1-Day Leadership & Collaboration Workshop
2018-07-19 08:30 - 16:30 | Employer’s Council Building, 1799 Pennsylvania Street, Denver, CO, 80210, United States
Lead by Employers Council, this leadership and collaboration workshop focuses on catalyzing creativity, trust, productivity, and satisfaction by building more effective and collaborative work environments. The session, building on the teachings of Radical Collaboration, teaches five essential skills for building strong alignments. This fast paced, hands-on learning experience increases trust and problem solving and reduces costly defensive behaviors. If you want your team to talk more openly, resolve conflicts more effectively, and be more productive, this workshop is for you.
Attendees will be provided with a handbook of program content, lessons, and implementation ideas.
Learning Outcomes:
1. Build collaborative skills
2. Recognize the elements of building and maintaining trusting climates
3. Develop skills establishing and solidifying partnerships and alliances
4. Learn the dynamics of interpersonal relationships
Commendations for the Course:
“The Urban Drainage and Flood Control District utilizes the Employers Council for professional growth and development training. Through our Leadership Academy, we covered the Radical Collaboration course, which has been instrumental in not only helping us to break down the silos within our organization but also in more effectively leading teams comprised of people with varying backgrounds, experience, and expertise. Understanding how to read and respond to different behaviors, mastering interpersonal relationships, and building trust within teams are soft skills that are so important in our industry but often neglected in the education engineers receive. Blending those soft skills with technical expertise is a great way to develop individuals and, in turn, produce better functioning and more productive teams. We have been impressed with the quality of training provided by Employers Council and continue to use them as we grow as an organization.” Shea Thomas, Urban Drainage and Flood Control District
“The Employers Council instructors are awesome!” David Skuodas, UDFCD
