We are a volunteer-run, Denver-based organization focused on practical economics. As the Denver chapter of the National Association for Business Economics (NABE), we are part of a national network of professionals who leverage economics in the workplace. We are proud to be one of the most active chapters of NABE.
DABE’s objectives are to provide educational opportunities on economic issues, offer a forum for discussion of economic problems, and contribute to the success of our Denver-based membership.
We host monthly luncheons with remote and in-person options, networking opportunities, and an evening summer social event at unique Denver destinations (at no marginal cost for members).
Some examples of our past events:
- Luncheon event with Dr. Vipin Arora, Director of the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), presenting on data products available from the BEA.
- Summer event featuring a tour of a marijuana grow operation and dispensary and presentations on the economic impact of the marijuana industry on the state of Colorado.
- Luncheon event with Dr. Dawn Thilmany, Professor of Agricultural Economics and Co-Director of the Regional Economic Development Institute and Director of Engaged Research at Colorado State University, presenting on key food market disruptions during the COVID pandemic.
- Evening event featuring an expert panel on immigration and its impact on Denver and the state of Colorado.
- Summer event featuring a tour of the new Ag Innovation Center at the National Western Complex and a presentation on the history and impact of the complex.
