COCO Team

COCO(Community Outreach and COlorado leadership)

History - CORPS evolved out of Recruitment & Selection in 2019. The R&S team has existed for decades. However, to try to increase PLC’s equity to access, diversity, and inclusivity, PLC changed the name of the team to emphasize the building of relationships over the previous process which had been historically whitewashed and along privileged lines of recruitment.Ìý
