Who Are We?
Our Volunteers
All our IDA Colorado members are volunteers, who are passionate about advancing dark-sky work in Colorado.
Our Organization
The IDA Colorado chapter is a Colorado LLC, and an official part of the International Dark-sky Association. We enjoy the 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status of the parent group.
We have a Board of Managers, a volunteer Director who is also the Chair of the Board of Managers, a team of Regional Coordinators, and many members who contribute in other ways.
