The Special District Association of Colorado, established in 1975, serves the interests of Colorado’s special district form of local government. Based in Denver, it operates within the government relations arena with the aim of preserving and improving the legal and political climate in which these districts operate. The association delivers training programs, educational opportunities, and technical assistance, and it advocates for its members before state agencies and the Colorado General Assembly. Its client base comprises Colorado’s special districts, which rely on SDA to navigate regulatory developments and shape public perceptions of local governance. In 2023, the organization named Mike Applegate as its Board Member of the Year, marking a notable governance milestone for SDA.
