Senate honors Colorado emergency responder chaplains and recognizes EDNIUM collective
Summary
The Colorado State Senate read two ceremonial tributes Jan. 24, 2025: a proclamation recognizing Colorado Emergency Responders Chaplains Day and a commendation for the EDNIUM collective’s education work in Denver.
The Colorado State Senate used part of its Jan. 24, 2025, session to read and present ceremonial tributes recognizing emergency responders’ chaplains and a youth organizing program.
Senator Pelton B read a tribute recognizing Jan. 24 as Colorado Emergency Responders Chaplain’s Day, noting the Rocky Mountain Police and Fire Chaplains was founded Jan. 24, 2014, and saying, "Chaplains are the are vital, and they are a vital aspect of the emergency responders world due to the trusted and valued relationship that chaplains build with the officers, firefighters, support staff, and families." The proclamation, the read record states, was signed by James Rashad Coleman, president of the Senate, and Julie McCluskey, speaker of the House of Representatives.
Later, at the request of Senator Julie Gonzales, the chamber recognized members associated with the EDNIUM collective and read a commendation celebrating the program’s work in Denver public schools and in building pipelines for young leaders. Senator Gonzales described the EDNIUM Denver Deep Dive program as “a program that allows several alumni of Denver metro schools to explore, learn, and collect more knowledge about the systems at play that impact us all here in Denver and throughout the state of Colorado.”
Senator Baisley (listed in the roll call) also introduced a visiting businessman from Vietnam, asking colleagues to welcome the visitor. Beyond the ceremonial readings and welcomes, the transcript records no formal votes or policy actions tied to these recognitions.
