Greetings:

As Mayor of the City and County of Denver, it’s my honor to welcome the American Correctional Association conference to The Mile High City! We are proud that you have chosen to host your conference in our vibrant city. During your time here, we invite you to enjoy everything the Mile High City has to offer. From vibrant and unique neighborhoods to world-class museums and music venues, there are countless ways to experience the energy and diversity of our city during your visit. Be sure to indulge in our award-winning culinary scene, from Michelin-recognized restaurants to our hometown favorites that showcase locally sourced ingredients and flavors. In recent years, we as a city have added thousands of new hotel rooms, establishing the Queen City of the Plains as one of the greenest cities in the nation. Recent and current projects are revitalizing our downtown and surrounding areas with world-class dining, shopping and cultural facilities. We hope your time in Denver will be memorable, not just for the insights and connections you gain from the conference, but also for the experiences you share within our city. We are proud to be a part of your journey!

Sincerely,
