Visions of the City features Mayor Hickenlooper July 13 at Grand Hyatt

Mayor John Hickenlooper will give his Visions of the City address Tuesday, July 13 at the Grand Hyatt, 1750 Welton, from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m.  The event benefits the League of Women Voters Education Fund, which supplies non-partisan ballot issues every election and publishes a civic directory of elected officials.

Sandra Shreve, President of the League of Women Voters of Denver from 2006-2009 will receive one of the prestigious Spirit of Denver awards. As president, she expanded voter access to information by partnering with Inter-Neighborhood Cooperation to sponsor candidate forums throughout Denver. The forums, cosponsored by neighborhood groups, drew hundreds of voters and was televised on Cable Channel 8. 

Shreve was appointed by Mayor Hickenlooper to a special task force that recommended changes in the city election process.  They recommended a different model that led voters to elect a Clerk and Recorder.
