DENVER – The Colorado House Minority Office has named Jennifer S. Brooks, an insurance broker, to the Board of Directors of Connect for Health Colorado . Brooks is a licensed broker with Sage Benefit Advisors, an Alera Group Company, and has been a certified broker with Connect for Health Colorado since the first Open Enrollment Period. 

With more than 25 years of experience as a health insurance broker, Jennifer found her specialization in the individual market during a time when people could be denied coverage based on their medical history. Today, Jennifer uses her degree in education to assist customers in understanding insurance concepts and how their policies function. She aims to impart knowledge that will empower them to make informed decisions as health insurance consumers for their lifetime. 
 
“As one of Connect for Health Colorado’s certified enrollment experts, Jennifer brings a vital customer focus and perspective to the Board of Directors,” said Board Chair Dick Thompson. “Her depth of experience with the individual market and Colorado’s marketplace paired with her dedication to advocating for our customers will contribute greatly to our board’s strategic discussions.” 

Jennifer began her activism at the age of 14 when she initiated a school-wide petition to introduce a Spanish language class at her small-town Iowa school. Although her initial attempt was unsuccessful, it did not deter her from pursuing her passion for making a positive impact. 

The Connect for Health Colorado Board of Directors has nine voting members and three ex-officio members.
