EPWH has been built from the ground up based on extensive research and conversations with experts and professionals, resulting in an organization based on best practices for both a non-profit corporation and a world class rodeo committee. Its structure creates a series of checks and balances that is bolstered by its transparency. It is recognized by the State of Colorado as a non-profit corporation and will soon have pending 501(c)(3) status with the IRS. Its Board of Directors has retained both legal and accounting professionals to guide the organization’s development. They are also working with the University of Northern Colorado’s Monfort College of Business and the Colorado Small Business Development Center in the creation of business and marketing plans.
