Board Advisory Group

The Connect for Health Board Advisory Group convenes a variety of stakeholders to use their real-world experience to maximize the quality of the customer experience on the Exchange. This group of insurance brokers, consumer advocates, health policy experts, and health coverage guides will inform Connect for Health Colorado’s high-level policy decisions and provide feedback on ways of engaging customer and other stakeholders about upcoming changes. For example, the group has provided feedback on the standardized Colorado plans, American Rescue Plan outreach, and Connect for Health’s policy roadmap.
