Colorado Creative Industries Announces New Director
Colorado Creative Industries, a division of the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, announced earlier this month that Margaret Hunt has been selected as the new director. She will be responsible for developing a statewide shared vision for Colorado's creative industries and expanding the commitment of local, state, and federal governments to the state's creative economy.
Hunt comes to CCI from the Utah Division of Arts and Museum, where she served as the executive director since 2005. In this position, she led the agency through significant changes including the merger of two state agencies: the Utah Arts Council and the Office of Museum Services. Prior to this position, Hunt served as director of community and economic development for Salt Lake City government; manager of economic development programs for PacifiCorp/Rocky Mountain Power Company; director of the International Microfinance Training Program at Naropa University; and vice president of a Utah-based fundraising consulting group for nonprofit organizations.
