With a mission to “enhance, encourage, and promote the current and future well-being of the people of Colorado,” El Pomar Foundation provides more than $22 million annually in grants and programs throughout the state. History Spencer Penrose incorporated El Pomar Foundation in 1937 with a donation of 15,000 shares of stock in El Pomar Investment Company and a check for $129,500. In its first year, the Foundation made 5 grants, totaling $81,737, to: Junior League of Colorado Springs Nutrition Camp, Fountain Valley School of Colorado, Penrose Colorado Community School, Glockner Hospital, and the Boys & Girls Club of Colorado Springs. Penrose contributed an additional $15 million two years later upon his death in 1939 and Julie Penrose served as the President of the Foundation until her passing in 1956. The name “El Pomar,” comes from the name of the estate that Spencer and Julie purchased for their home in Colorado Springs. The house was built on the site of the Dixon Apple Orchard and El Pomar translates to “the orchard” in Catalan. The Foundation celebrated its 80th anniversary in 2017. The Foundation’s assets have grown to more than $600 million as of 2018, and the organization continues to uphold the mission and legacy of the Penrose family. Grant Making & Funds El Pomar Foundation serves as a general purpose foundation, providing Trustee-approved grants across five grant making areas: arts and culture, civic and community initiatives, education, health, and human services. The Foundation also operates several endowed funds, though the competitive grant process remains the primary source of grant making. Anna Keesling Ackerman Fund: Supports nonprofit organizations serving the Pikes Peak Region, with a specific focus on organizations working in arts and humanities, education, health, human services, and civic and community initiatives. Freda Hambrick Fund: Supports nonprofit organizations that prevent cruelty to animals, provide direct care and medical assistance, and offer educational programs for the proper care of and attention to animals within the state of Colorado. 8 Sally Beck Fund: Supports nonprofit organizations providing direct care to equines, therapeutic riding programs, equine education programs, and equine-related disaster response programs. Wildland Fire Fund: Assists with the immediate emergency needs of volunteer fire fighting agencies and first responders throughout the state of Colorado. Dorothy Ferrand Fund: Provides support to organizations making a significant impact on the educational, medical, health care and other needs of low-income children and their parents in the Pikes Peak region (by invitation only). Karl E. Eitel Fund: Supports the work of outstanding Colorado nonprofit organizations serving at-risk youth (by invitation only). Olin Fund: Supports investments in Olin Field at the Colorado Springs Youth Sports Park, the business and economics majors at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, and programs in small Colorado communities (by invitation only). Hybl Fund: Supports Olympic, Paralympic, and youth sports (by invitation only). Programs In addition to its grant making efforts, El Pomar also operates several Community Stewardship programs that align with the mission of the Foundation. American Council of Young Political Leaders: Each year, El Pomar hosts two delegations of international leaders, introducing them to various community and state leaders. Each cultural exchange serves as an important tool of public diplomacy, encouraging trust, understanding, and goodwill on a personal basis. Awards for Excellence: This program recognizes outstanding Colorado nonprofit organizations by presenting them with cash awards for their impressive work to support the people of Colorado. In addition, El Pomar recognizes individuals for their outstanding contributions to the nonprofit sector. Since its inception in 1989, the Awards for Excellence program has provided more than $5.8 million in grant support to more than 700 nonprofit organizations throughout Colorado. 9 El Pomar Fellowship: The Fellowship provides hands-on experience and a rigorous professional development curriculum for the next generation of Colorado leaders. Each Fellow gets a 360-degree view of the nonprofit sector. The two- year paid Fellowship for recent college graduates prepares individuals for lifelong roles as community leaders. More than 250 leaders have gone through the Fellowship since its inception in 1991. El Pomar Internship: El Pomar's summer internship program provides an opportunity for college students with an interest in the nonprofit sector and leadership to gain valuable work experience.

Beall, Deputy Secretary of State Judd Choate, Director of Elections Elections Division Office of the Secretary of State 1700 Broadway, Suite 550 Denver, CO 80290 Phone: (303) 894-2200, ext. 6307 Official Publication of the Abstract of Votes Cast for the Following Elections: 2019 Odd-Year 2020 Presidential Primary 2020 Primary 2020 General Dear Coloradans, It is my privilege to present the biennial election abstract report, which contains the official statewide election results for the 2019 coordinated election, 2020 presidential primary, 2020 statewide primary, and 2020 general election. This report also includes voter turnout statistics and a directory of state and county elected officials. The Colorado Secretary of State’s Election Division staff compiled this information from materials submitted by Colorado’s 64 county clerk and recorders. Additional information is available at Accountability in Colorado Elections (ACE), available online at https://www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/elections/ACE/index.html. Without a doubt, the 2020 election year will be remembered as one of our state’s most unusual and most historic. After starting with the state’s first presidential primary in 20 years, we oversaw two major statewide elections amidst a global pandemic and the worst forest fires in Colorado’s history. Yet, despite those challenges, Colorado voters enthusiastically made their voices heard. We set state participation records in each of those three elections, with 3,291,661 ballots cast in the general election, the most for any election in Colorado history.

Nielson ___________ APPROVED: Jurg Gerber, PhD Thesis Director Yan Zhang, PhD Committee Member Furjen Deng, PhD Committee Member Phillip Lyons, PhD Dean, College of Criminal Justice DEDICATION This is dedicated to Amanda, Kenna, and Emmie for their constant love and support through it all. iii ABSTRACT Nielson, Kyler R., Attitudinal differences between female and male police cadets/officers in Taiwan: the nexus between gender, immigration, and crime. Master of Arts (Criminal Justice and Criminology), August, 2020, Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas. Immigration is an increasingly salient issue throughout the world as the number of foreign residents continues to rise in many countries. In Taiwan, the foreign population has consistently increased in recent years. Immigrants in Taiwan are marginalized and are often subject to negative stereotypes from the media and public. As members of the public, police cadets/officers may be affected by such sentiments, but they should also maintain a neutral perspective and ensure equal treatment in various criminal justice processes. In particular, attitudes may differ based on cadet/officer gender. Males and females may have unique experiences in policing and inherent attitudinal differences.

  • "OUR 60Th YEAR"
    TITLE $~EWS ~ THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE ~ AMERICAN LAND TITLE ASSOCIATION ® ~ "OUR 60th YEAR" MAY, 1967 A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE TITLE INSURANCE SECTION MAY, 1967 I am indebted to our President, George B. Garber, for allowing me to write a message to our members, and I am going to take advantage of this opportunity to keep our members abreast of some of the actions taken at the Mid-Winter Conference. We were pleased to learn that our President had appointed a stand­ ing committee under the Chairmanship of Daniel S. Wentworth, Esquire, to study the new Federal Tax Lien Act and to cooperate with the Internal Revenue Service in order that the regulations to be used, in the administration of the law, be realistic. The Standard Title Insurance Accounting Committee made an interim report outlining the objectives of the Committee. In order that the Committee become a standing committee of the Association, the required steps were taken to amend the constitution and by-laws. The same procedure was followed with respect to the Young Title Men's Committee and all of us will be happy that the Committee will become a standing committee at the Denver Convention. On the recommendation of the Executive Committee, the Board of Governors authorized the Association to participate in a national con­ ference with the American Bar Association, provided the conference consists of not more than twelve members-six to be chosen by our Association and six to be chosen by the American Bar Association. If such conference is established, no resolution, statement or agree­ ment proposed by the conference will become effective before approval and ratification by the Board of Governors of our Association.
