Noting that this is the first time that the Colorado Office of Vital Statistics has received such an award , Ron Hyman , Colorado 's state registrar , said , " This award reflects the excellence and hard work of the dedicated staff of the Colorado Vital Statistics Program and of our partners in local public health offices and at hospitals throughout the state . After initial contacts , DEC staff were invited to meet with fisheries staff of the Colorado Division of Wildlife to review the history of the whirling disease outbreak in that state and their analysis of possible impacts to wild populations in several waters . Prior to that , he served on the staff of the Colorado House of Representatives in Denver and worked in the Office of the Vice Chancellor at the University of Colorado in Boulder . This program is an excellent opportunity for serious backcountry hikers to enjoy mild high desert days and daily hikes up mesas and down canyons , while exploring the canyon country of the Colorado River . At that point I was introduced to the students and staff of the Colorado Center for the Blind ( CCB ) in Denver at a convention of the National Federation of the Blind of Wyoming . Through the cooperation of the Colorado Division of Wildlife ( DOW ) , wildlife-conscious private landowners and private tour operators like Arena Dust Tours , birders can traverse private property in search of leks . At first it seemed like black humor that an organization called " The Committee to Save Lake Powell " had come together in response to the first efforts to decommission Glen Canyon Dam the largest dam in the US , and a major culprit in the declining health of the Colorado River . If future biodiversity monitoring is to truly gauge positive and negative shifts in the health of the Colorado River ecosystems , then an accurate baseline is necessary . The preceding day the students and staff of the Colorado Center for the Blind hosted an elegant reception in Mrs. Carney 's honor .
