As of March 30, 2017 the Council must comply with the newly established Early Childhood Council Rules #16-10-27-1 (ECC Rules) to qualify as an Early Childhood Council (ECC) under HB 07-1062 and to remain eligible to receive Early Childhood Council designated funding from the Colorado Department of Human Services.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Denver’s Early Childhood Council Governing Board of Directors complied with the new rules by establishing an Early Childhood Council Rules Oversight Council at our Annual Meeting on May 4, 2017. The new ECC Oversight Council now assumes responsibility as the voting body with governing authority over all the duties enumerated in the ECC Rules as carved out by the Board in the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.
