Elizabeth (Norris) Prutch
If Blair is involved then you are in the best of hands! She shows up with authenticity, brilliant ideas, a passion to help those around her and a true desire to do good in this community and beyond. I've had the pleasure of knowing Blair since she arrived in Denver. First as a friend, but also as community partners working to highlight deserving leaders. She is a combination of strategic thought partner and a get it done mentality. I've witnessed her grow her network and her reach in such a real way - she has trails of success and smiles behind her everywhere she goes! We are SO lucky to have Blair in Denver.

Blair is so impressive. From the moment you meet her you see the fire, fun & intelligence. She is tireless in her constant quest to better herself, perfect her craft, and raise the game of those around her. She is the MVP you want and need on your team. I am so fortunate to call her a coworker and a friend!
