Karla Nugent, chief business development officer of Denver-based Weifield Group, and CEO Seth Anderson know the business of connections - both electrical and otherwise.

In this video, watch their story of the unique employment program that followed, and how the leaders are bringing their values to work:
Laura Bernero formerly served as the blog curator for Denver Institute, overseeing both internal content and contributions from our amazing network of writers. She loves all things creative communications, acting on the belief that we all resonate with great narrative and connect to one another through story. She was a 5280 Fellow in the inaugural 2016-17 class and can’t wait to see the program continue to empower leaders throughout Denver in their unique gifts and callings.
