Economic future of Colorado
Charles (Charlie) S. Brown is the director of the Colorado Futures Center at Colorado State University and founder and president of Charles Brown Consulting Inc, a small public policy and economic consulting firm. Previously, he was director of the Center for Colorado’s Economic Future at the University of Denver and staff director for the Colorado Economic Futures Panel.
Since 2016 is a general election year, Colorado citizens must make informed decisions when voting on candidates and on initiated and referred measures affecting Colorado Fiscal Policy. CSU President Tony Frank: “Charlie has a tremendous history of providing thorough, nonpartisan and rigorous analysis of public policies that affect every corner of Colorado. I’m confident the Colorado Futures Center will be a meaningful and substantive resource for all who care about preserving Colorado’s quality of life and long-term competitiveness."
Brown served a 29-year career in state government, retiring in 2004. During that time, he spent 17 years as executive director of the Legislative Council Staff.
Brown holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder, and he was a 1994 Gates Fellow at the Program for Senior Executives in State and Local Government at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
He was awarded the Outstanding Public Service Award by the University of Colorado and the Graduate School of Public Affairs in 2003, and the Leo C. Riethmayer Outstanding Public Administrator Award in 2004. Charlie was appointed to the Colorado State Board of Equalization, confirmed by the Colorado State Senate, and elected as the board’s vice-chairman in 2006.
