PHYSICAL AND VIRTUAL COLLABORATIVE WORKSPACE: THE POSNER CENTER BRINGS TOGETHER CLOSE TO 200 COLORADO-BASED GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONS, WORKING IN OVER 100 COUNTRIES, AND ENCOMPASSING ALL SECTORS AND APPROACHES TO DEVELOPMENT WORK.

SMALL BUDGETS, COMPETITION FOR LIMITED RESOURCES, A LACK OF CONNECTION, AND FEELING ISOLATED FROM INTERNATIONAL TEAMS ARE AMONG SOME OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES FOR DEVELOPMENT PROFESSIONALS, ESPECIALLY IN COLORADO.
