Rocky Mountain Sustainability Collective Selected for LOVErdis 2026
Verdis Group is thrilled to announce our second LOVErdis recipient for 2026. Along with Dane County, we have selected the Rocky Mountain Sustainability Collective!
What is LOVErdis?
We created the LOVErdis program in 2019 as a mechanism to allow community organizations to tackle some of their biggest sustainability challenges for free. Previous LOVErdis winners include Frist Art Museum, Nemours Childrens Health, Joslyn Art Museum, and Habitat for Humanity Omaha. Learn more about our LOVErdis program at our Impact Dashboard.
RMSC: Cultural leaders collaborating for sustainability’s sake
The Rocky Mountain Sustainability Collective (RMSC) is a group of civic and cultural institutions that are committed to building a culture of sustainability in the Denver Metropolitan area. Members include the Denver Art Museum, Denver Botanic Gardens, Denver Museum of Nature and Science, Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance, Denver International Airport, Greener Theatre Colorado, Diversion Designers, SSA Group, and more.
Verdis Group will lead an on-site, participatory workshop to align RMSC members’ direction, develop and prioritize strategies, and walk away with a focused workplan.
Felicia Alvarez, RMSC Co-Chair, said the organization is honored to be selected as a LOVErdis recipient.
“It’s with great gratitude that our chapter is recognized in this way: to help us work and plan through the many bright-minded ideas and innovative strategies that come from working with many organizations.
“With the guidance of this strategic workshop by LOVErdis, we are excited to put this collective in perspective with a focus on strategic goal-making and successes. Thank you, LOVErdis, for helping Rocky Mountain Sustainable Collective move forward and giving us this opportunity to make this big idea turn into a reality.”

“This collective represents many civic and cultural leaders coming together to leverage their ability to impact and create a culture of sustainability in the Denver area. We believe that integrating sustainability into a community’s keepers of culture strengthens the entire ecosystem. We’re thrilled that through the LOVErdis program, we can help RMSC catalyze its collective impact.”
