John Hickenlooper. She has worked for more than 16 years in law and public policy in Colorado, serving as director of community-based assistance programs at Connect for Health Colorado before taking the helm at CCHI, a statewide, non-profit advocacy group working on behalf of healthcare consumers.<\/p>\n<p>She replaces Sharon O\u2019Hara, executive vice president of the Colorado-Wyoming Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, who has served as board chair since July 2014 and who continues her service on the board.<\/p>\n<p>In accepting the position, Flores-Brennan praised O\u2019Hara\u2019s work as board chair.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe, as a board, are grateful for Sharon\u2019s resolute leadership and the countless hours she has devoted to expanding coverage for Coloradans,\u201d Flores-Brennan said. \u201cWe have come a long way in the nearly two years that Sharon served as chair. The success we see in nearly every corner of the state during our most recent open enrollment is a testament to the value of her leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Connect for Health Colorado board has nine voting members and three ex-officio members. They are appointed by Republican and Democratic leaders in the state Legislature and by the governor.<\/p>\n<p>Other voting members of the board include: Steve ErkenBrack, president and chief executive officer of Rocky Mountain Health Plans; Nathan Wilkes, Founder and Principal Consultant Headstorms, Inc., an IT consulting firm; Marc Reece, senior director of state government affairs, Western Region, for Aetna; Jay Norris, an independent insurance broker; Denise O\u2019Leary, a Denver businesswoman; Eric Grossman, president and CEO, NextHealth Technologies and Davis Fansler, a Telluride businessman.<\/p>\n<p>Ex-officio members are David Padrino, Gov. Hickenlooper\u2019s Chief Performance Officer; Marguerite Salazar, the state Commissioner of Insurance; and Sue Birch, executive director of the state department of Health Care Policy and Financing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Connect for Health Colorado<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Connect for Health Colorado is a public, non-profit entity established by the Colorado General Assembly in 2011 to create a health insurance Marketplace.&nbsp; It opened for business on Oct. 1, 2013, for individuals, families and small employers to compare and buy health insurance and is the only place to apply for financial assistance in the form of tax credits to help lower the monthly cost of premiums.
