Sarah Moss once dreamed of being the first woman to play in the NBA, preferably for the Denver Nuggets, but she discovered she wasn’t very good at basketball. Instead, she became a civic dreamer and doer and a strategist solving policy and political puzzles. (She remains a lifelong Denver Nuggets fan.) Moss has more than 20 years of experience ranging from state and local government, to public awareness campaigns, to serving in the Office of Attorney General at the U.S. Department of Justice. Her first job in high school was inspecting coolers and backpacks at the front gate of Hyland Hills WaterWorld.

The Denver native has lived in Washington, DC twice. Moss is a two-time fellow of the Bighorn Leadership Program (in economic development and Colorado’s energy future) and a Truman National Security Project Security Fellow. She is a member of the Colorado City & County Management Association and Engaging Local Government Leaders. A lifelong learner, she earned a Denver Peak Academy black belt in Lean process improvement, an Executive Master of Public Administration from the University of Colorado Denver, a B.A. in Public Communication from American University, and a yellow belt in Krav Maga.
