Mile High United Way recently named Judy Ham, President and CEO of CP of Colorado, the winner of its prestigious Anna Jo Haynes “Caring About Kids” Award. The award recognizes an individual who has made the highest level of commitment to early childhood education in Metro Denver.

Ham champions inclusiveness for people of all abilities, in all settings. CP’s classrooms and workplaces embrace a spectrum of abilities; students learn that inclusiveness is the norm, not the exception, and Ham thinks it is they who deserve the recognition. “This award truly belongs to the many staff, families and especially the children served through Creative Options,” she said.
