SWF meets with John Hickenlooper, Honorable Mayor of Denver, Colorado

Cynda Collins Arsenault, President and co-founder of Secure World Foundation and Phil Smith, SWF Communications Director, met with Mayor of Denver John Hickenlooper on Wednesday, January 14.

The meeting was brief, with the objective of introducing SWF to the mayor, exploring options for partnering and offer our services to the city. Mayor Hickenlooper was gracious to provide us an audience, and was intrigued by the Foundation's vision. He suggested that the Foundation consider participating in the 2010 Biennial of the Americas, Hickenlooper's initiative to have the City of Denver serve as a cultural nexus for North and South America. Biennial of the Americas (website pending) will run about two to three months in duration every two years, and will be a pan-American celebration of ideas and the arts. SWF will explore how it can contribute both to the Ideas Pavilion and the Arts Exhibits. Options include working with CRECTEALC and Canada on advocacy for the secure, sustainable and peaceful uses of outer space.

The Foundation will also work with the mayor's office on the cordination of local non-profits dedicated to a better future for the metropolitan area, the State of Colorado, the nation and, ultimately, the world.
