Whats Good for Children is Good for Business. Executives Partnering to Invest in Children, EPIC, is a collaboration of business leaders, nonprofits and foundations promoting early childhood care, education, health and parenting as the highest priority of public and private investment in Colorado. We are the business communitys advocate for early childhood investment in the workplace and in our communities. Colorado business leaders, in partnership with nonprofit organizations and foundation, have a unique opportunity to band together to develop and implement a strategy to prepare tomorrows workforce.
