letter from the board president
dear friends,
The past year was yet another full and interesting time at Chautauqua!
Susan Connelly, our executive director for twelve years, left Colorado
Chautauqua Association (CCA) in November. Under her leadership, CCA
grew into an exceedingly healthy and stable nonprofit organization. Our staff
is talented and dedicated; our programming is strong and relevant; and our
buildings and grounds have never looked better. During Susan’s last year,
our lease with the City of Boulder was extended for twenty years and the
CCA board of directors completed a strategic plan to guide future program
direction and investments. Susan left a wonderful legacy.
In January, after a national search, Andrea McGimsey joined CCA as our new
executive director. Andrea was previously the executive director of Oatlands
Historic House & Gardens, a National Trust Historic Site in Virginia. As a
board, we are thrilled to have Andrea with us and believe that her myriad of
skills as well as her interest in climate change and sustainability will move
the organization in new and exciting directions.
Growing out of CCA’s strategic plan are two new initiatives I’d like to share.
It is our intention to be the most sustainable, energy efficient National
Historic Landmark in the country. In partnership with the City of Boulder
and the Carbon Neutral Cities Alliance, consultants are currently studying
what projects and programs might be feasible in our unique situation. By fall
of 2016, we hope to have a road map to guide future investments in energy
savings and production.
On another front, CCA is committed to sharing the story of Chautauqua’s
past with our community and is in the process of developing an educational
field trip program for third graders. In spring 2016, 56 students from Flatirons
Elementary joined us for a pilot program and were invited to step back in
time to Chautauqua’s early years. We intend that by celebrating the history
and spirit of Chautauqua with a new, young generation, an enthusiastic
appreciation of historic preservation and the treasure that is our National
Historic Landmark will be nurtured.
The board of directors and I are very grateful for your support of our
wonderful organization.

letter from the executive director

dear friends,
p r e s e rvat i o n
&
s u sta i n a b i l i t y
As I begin my tenure as Executive
Director of this beautiful
National Historic Landmark, I am
honored to be entrusted with
the stewardship of Chautauqua’s
site and spirit, and to be part of
ensuring its sustainable future.
I am pleased to report that
Colorado Chautauqua Association
(CCA) had another memorable and productive year—
providing the community with many opportunities
for respite—“to escape, engage and elevate.” CCA
ended 2015 in strong financial position, completed
many capital projects and made great strides towards
future improvement projects that will benefit all guests.
Together with the City of Boulder and its staff, new ADA
accessible restrooms to serve the Auditorium—a long
desired amenity— were completed in July 2015.
I look forward to fulfilling the board’s new strategic plan,
specifically identifying ways to reduce the environmental
footprint of our operations and expand the telling of
Chautauqua’s rich history.
Chautauqua’s sustainable future could not be possible
without the generous support of our greater Chautauqua
community of members and donors, lodging and dining
guests, concert goers, frequent and infrequent visitors.
Thank YOU for enabling us to create memorable
experiences year after year.
I add my personal thanks to the CCA Board of Directors
for its dedication and support and to our tireless and
devoted staff who make it all happen every day of every
year.

community jewel and supporting its vibrant future.

Preservation and maintenance of Chautauqua’s 67 historic buildings and 26 acres of grounds for active
year-round use is a fundamental part of the Colorado Chautauqua Association’s (CCA) daily stewardship
activities. CCA invests approximately one million dollars annually in capital improvements and routine
maintenance within its leasehold portion of the Colorado Chautauqua National Historic Landmark.
Buildings & Grounds
In 2015, CCA completed the West Garden Walk Project,
reestablishing the historic connection between the
Chautauqua Green and CCA campus. The irrigation
systems in the Centennial Garden and landscaping
around the Auditorium were upgraded and the flagstone
terrace around the Dining Hall was repaired and
refurbished in April 2016.
Auditorium
For over a century, the Chautauqua Auditorium has
held a special place in the hearts of performers and
audiences. Each year, routine upkeep and scheduled
capital improvement projects ensure that the beloved
building remains in top condition and ready to welcome
all who visit.
Through collaboration with the City of Boulder, ADA
accessible restrooms to serve the Auditorium were
completed in July of 2015 and are now open seasonally
in conjunction with Auditorium events. The restroom
project, managed and funded by the City of Boulder,
features a six stall restroom with ADA accessible
accommodations for both men and women.

In spring of 2016, a flagstone terrace was installed on the
east side of the venue and drought resistant landscaping
continues to be developed. Inside the Auditorium, the
house lights were upgraded to energy efficient L.E.D.
lights and the lateral acoustic panels above the stage
were replaced and upgraded. The replacement and
upgrade of the overhead acoustic panels, the final phase
of the acoustic project, will occur in October 2016.

Cottages & Lodges
Other major capital improvements for 2015 included the
complete rehabilitation of Cottage 13. Testing before and
after this work was done showed a 35 percent decrease
in air infiltration and building leakage. Domestic hot
water heaters were replaced with high efficiency
tankless water heaters in five cottages; new kitchens
were installed in all units in Columbine Lodge; the
entry stairs to Missions House Lodge were replaced and
other various upgrades to cottages, including tile floors,
interior and exterior painting, etc., were accomplished.
Interpretation
After almost a year of tremendous effort by a dedicated
team, the digitizing and reprinting of the third edition
of Mary Galey’s book “The Grand Assembly” was
completed in November 2015.
Many hours were spent retyping the original
mimeographed book into a digital file, proofreading and
fact checking, locating and scanning the original photos
and illustrations, and typesetting. With the digitizing
and printing of this third edition, “The Grand Assembly”
now has greater protection from the disintegrating
effects of time. Such protection is greatly deserved for
Galey’s passionate portrayal of the influential nationwide
Chautauqua movement and of Boulder’s Grand Assembly.
We are grateful for the time spent on this project by Lori
Hunter (project manager), CCA archivist Kate Gerard,
Shireen Miller, Kent Young,Wendy Hall at the Carnegie
Library, and the team at the University of Colorado
Library. Copies of “The Grand Assembly” are available for
sale through the gift shops in the Chautauqua Lodging
Office and the Chautauqua General Store.

Environmental Sustainability
The Chautauqua values of lifelong learning, love of
nature and voluntary simplicity go hand-in-hand with
environmental sustainability.
In 2008, the Colorado Chautauqua Association committed
to making the Colorado Chautauqua the country’s
“greenest” National Historic Landmark. Since then, CCA
has made sweeping changes to the way it operates and
continues to explore strategies to conserve water and
energy, divert waste from landfills and utilize earth-friendly
products, while preserving the guest experience and the
Colorado Chautauqua’s historic character.

THE GUEST EXPERIENCE
Overnight guests may notice differences from the typical
vacation destination. For example, Chautauqua cottages
are equipped with composting and recycling containers,
water-saving shower heads, faucets and toilets, ecofriendly soaps and hair products and alternative cooling
systems. Bath towels and other linens are exchanged
upon request, rather than changed daily. The gift shops
found in the Lodging Office and the General Store offer
earth-friendly products featuring organically grown
fibers, non-toxic BPA-free materials and environmentally
sound production processes.
ECO FRIENDLY PRODUCTS
We continue to raise the bar on our efforts to seek out
the highest quality products that are all natural, non-toxic
and have minimal impact on the earth.
CHEMICAL-FREE LANDSCAPING
Healthier for guests, wildlife, plants and the planet, we
use organic materials like manure to nurture the grounds
and gardens within the historic district. In addition, all
our yard and tree trimmings are collected and converted
to mulch that is used in our gardens and flower beds.
BEE FRIENDLY COMMUNITY
Colorado Chautauqua Association has taken the pledge
to make the Colorado Chautauqua Bee Safe. We use only
non-neonicontinoid products and plant flowers, trees
and shrubs that provide the pollen and nectar that bees
and other pollinators need.

Environmental Sustainability (continued)
WATER
Water is precious in Boulder’s high-desert climate and
CCA is conscious of every drop used. In addition to
water saving fixtures in buildings, weather monitors have
been incorporated into irrigation systems throughout
the grounds. These monitors evaluate factors such as
temperature, relative humidity, wind and precipitation,
so water is used only as much, and as often, as
necessary. This practice has resulted in a reduction of
outdoor water use by as much as 40 percent annually
since initial implementation in 2010.
ENERGY
Energy conservation is one of CCA’s highest priorities. As
a general rule, whenever an appliance, furnace or water
heater needs to be replaced, the most energy-efficient
option that meets the need is selected. This includes ondemand water heaters as well as other Energy Star rated
products. Light bulbs with low-energy compact florescent
lights (CFL) have been systematically installed wherever
safe and effective and CCA is experimenting with high
efficiency LED lights in all its buildings.
WASTE
All cottages are strategically air sealed and insulated to
reduce energy use and increase year-round comfort. A
number of strategies have been employed for summer
comfort in cottages and community buildings, including
solar reflective window screens, whole-house fans,
ceiling fans, and high-efficiency alternative cooling
systems like the Coolerado in the Academic Hall and
Community House. Significant energy efficiency upgrades
also have been made to the historic Dining Hall.
The Colorado Chautauqua is recognized as a national
leader in the application of energy efficiency and green
construction techniques in historic building renovation.
As part of its Learning Laboratory, CCA compiles case
studies and valuable data, and shares its learnings with
home owners, the historic preservation community and
the green building industry.
With a goal to reduce its waste stream to a mere trickle,
CCA makes every effort to reduce, reuse and recycle.
All yard and tree trimmings are collected and converted
to mulch to be used in our gardens and flower beds.
When renovating historic buildings, reclaimed building
materials are used to the extent possible, diverting 65
percent of construction waste from landfills through
recycling and re-use. Approximately 75 percent of
overnight guests participate in a voluntary compost
program and the Dining Hall operator converts much of
its food waste into feed for its farm animals.
TRANSPORTATION
CCA encourages all visitors to reduce their environmental
footprint and celebrates their efforts. In 2015, over 4,500
concert patrons chose to ride the free HOP 2 Chautauqua
to the Chautauqua and Colorado Music Festival.
Available on Auditorium concert nights, the free transit
service runs every 15-20 minutes from approximately
two hours prior to show time to 45 minutes after the
end of each show. HOP 2 Chautauqua is operated by
VIA Mobility Services and funded by GO Boulder/City
of Boulder, CCA and Colorado Music Festival. For more

CULTURAL RESIDENCY
PROGRAMMING
Since July 4, 1898, people have traveled long
distances to have a chautauqua experience in
Boulder. Initially a tent city, seasonal cottages
and lodges were built and rebuilt at Chautauqua
over time.
From classical to popular music, silent films to
modern dance, authors to actors, and science to
theater, 2015 was packed with many memorable
Chautauqua experiences.
The result was a unique neighborhood that, for its first
century, was primarily for summer use only.
Today, 57 cottages and the Missions House and
Columbine Lodges are available for nightly rental
year-round.
All of the cottages and lodges at Chautauqua have
been lovingly upgraded to be as energy efficient and
comfortable as possible. Five cottages are EPA Energy
Star-rated, indicating achievement of the highest
standards in energy efficiency.
Not only is staying in a cottage or lodge a fundamental
element of the Chautauqua experience, but lodging
revenue is the economic engine for CCA. The revenues
fund preservation and maintenance activities and
subsidize public programming.
Each year, Chautauqua hosts overnight guests from
around the globe, nationally, regionally, and often
locally to participate in the chautauqua experience.
Please join us!

Auditorium programs
The 118th Summer Series delivered yet another season
of diverse and quality entertainment that the community
has come to expect such as: Boz Scaggs, Michael
McDonald, Ry Cooder, Ricky Skaggs, Robert Cray, Punch
Brothers, Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell. Spoken
word also filled the Auditorium as comedian Margaret
Cho kept audiences laughing.

Silent films with live musical accompaniment celebrated
30 years on Chautauqua’s silver screen. Audiences were
awestruck and inspired by the incredible athleticism
displayed in film during the two day, sold out REEL
ROCK 10 film festival and also by the dancers from Cleo
Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble.
An integral part of Chautauqua’s summer programming
for more than three decades, the Colorado Music Festival
continued to provide six weeks of inspiring, worldclass classical music. 2015 patrons became acquainted
with new music director Jean-Marie Zeitouni’s and his
personal affinity for vocal music.
Outside the Auditorium, theater was abundant at
Chautauqua. Hikers hit the trails to enjoy Theatre
Hikes’ “Little Red and Her Feisty Friends” and learned
“Ten Ways to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse” while
aficionados participated in staged play readings in the
Community House from Stories on Stage.

COMMUNITY
Year-round programming in the Chautauqua Community
House nourished patron’s hearts and minds through
music, theater, film, science and the power of the pen.
Partners
During the popular and sold out Space Series, audiences
were taken on a monthly voyage of discovery through
the solar system and outer limits of space and time.
Paying homage to the original Chautauqua Literary &
Scientific Circle, the monthly Author Series presented
thought provoking writers sharing their works of
fiction and nonfiction. Authors included Peter Heller
unveiling his newest work of science fiction; Thomas
Andrews revealing the effects of climate change in the
Rocky Mountains; Dan Simmons discussing his research
methods for his novels; Katie Singer laying bare the
electronic silent spring in our daily environment; and
Marc Bekoff rewilded our hearts.
During a special series in support of our veterans and
their families, authors Helen Thorpe, Angie Ricketts and
Megan Feldman explored the struggles of our troops
at home and abroad. Captain Luis Montalvan and his
service dog Tuesday also provided an up-close story to
children and adults about recovery and love.
Filmmakers, screenwriters and producers convened at
the Community House throughout the year to gather live
audience feedback during post-screening discussions
of their work. These documentaries journeyed to the
world’s highest peaks; wrestled with faith and fighting;
explored how cycling is helping Rwanda recover from
genocide; delved into the issues of civil discourse,
conservation and monkey wrenching, and shone a light
on how hip hop culture is defining music and culture.
Just as attending a concert in the Chautauqua Auditorium
is on the summer “must-do” list, Community House
concerts have become a favorite amongst fans looking
to experience music in an intimate atmosphere. 2015
musicians included The Haunted Windchimes, Mulligan
Brothers, Cahalen & Eli, Biff Gore and provided guests with
rhythms ranging from bluegrass and folk to soulful blues,
rock and holiday favorites.
The Social Network
With valued supporters around the globe, Chautauqua’s
social media community is rapidly growing. Sign up

support
Join or Donate online at
chautauqua.com.
Now more than ever, the Chautauqua values of
voluntary simplicity, lifelong learning, love of nature
and music, oration and the arts are relevant and
needed in the hectic pace of today’s digital age.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Colorado
Chautauqua Association relies on the generosity of the
community to help preserve the site and spirit of the
historic Chautauqua and enrich the lives of all who visit.
Individual or Business Contributions
Gifts of any size make a difference. Donor generosity
allows CCA to constantly improve the visitor experience
of the Colorado Chautauqua’s historic accommodations
and event venues, the natural beauty of the 20+ acres of
grounds, and the quality and quantity of educational and
entertainment programming.
Planned Giving
Planned giving provides ways to support the Colorado
Chautauqua without affecting a donor’s current lifestyle
or family’s security. Through planned giving, gifts can
be made that cost nothing during the donor’s lifetime
and leave cash flow and current financial planning
unchanged. Planned giving gifts could include gifts from
wills or trusts, retirement plan designations, appreciated
securities, life insurance and many more.
Matching Gifts
Many corporations offer matching gift programs whereby
the company agrees to match any gift donated by an
employee or retiree. A Matching Gift Program is an ideal
way for a company to demonstrate the importance of
supporting the community. Corporate matching can
double and often triple the overall contribution that
Colorado Chautauqua Association receives on behalf of
an individual.

Since 1989, the Scientific and Cultural Facilities
District (SCFD) has distributed funds from a 1/10
of 1 percent sales and use tax to cultural facilities
throughout the seven-county Denver metropolitan
area. The funds support cultural facilities whose
primary purpose is to enlighten and entertain
the public through the production, presentation,
exhibition, advancement and preservation of art,
music, theatre, dance, zoology, botany, natural history and cultural history.
The SCFD is a unique collaboration between rural, suburban and urban
counties. The distribution budget for scientific and cultural organizations
in the seven-county area currently exceeds $50 million annually. The
Colorado Chautauqua Association is proud and grateful to be an SCFD Tier
II organization. Thank you, citizens of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities
District! For more information, please visit www.scfd.org.
