(AGANA), will speak on their involvement with the restoration of Colorado’s capitol dome: “Gold mined from Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company (CC&V, principally owned and managed by AGANA), located in Teller County, has been gilded to Colorado’s capitol dome as part of the State Capitol restoration project. Boxes containing gold leaf, produced from 65 troy ounces of 24 karat gold, enough to cover the entire dome, and one 10 ounce 24 karat ingot, were officially presented to Governor John Hickenlooper this past June in a bucket brigade carried up the west steps of the State Capitol by CC&V employees. This presentation provides an overview of CC&V’s donation and a summary of the capitol dome restoration project.” Ms. Patterson joined AGANA in 2000 and currently manages lobbying activities on behalf of AGANA in Colorado. In addition to managing legislative issues, she develops and implements AGANA's public and government relations strategy and programs at the federal and state levels. She specializes in philanthropic strategies and educational outreach programs that create successful and sustainable business relationships.
