At our fifth community forum, DNCC CEO Leah Daughtry joined U.S. Congressman Ed Perlmutter, Lakewood Mayor Bob Murphy and a great crowd of local Democrats and business owners in Lakewood, Colorado.  The speakers discussed the opportunities for economic benefit that the City of Lakewood faces in the run up to and during the 2008 Democratic National Convention and also outlined the many ways that Lakewood residents can become involved.  The forum took place in the new downtown Belmar area, a modern and attractive array of residences, restaurants and boutiques in Lakewood.  Leah and Congressman Perlmutter discussed the opportunities for the city as a destination for delegates and other guests during the Convention.  Click the video below to see a quick teaser of the “Convention Conversations” in Lakewood.  Additional video from the event will be available soon.  You can also see what the Associated Press had to say about the event here.



The “Convention Conversations” series was launched in Denver last September and has travelled to Pueblo, Boulder and Las Vegas in the past few months.  Blog entries and videos from past community forums can be found here.
