Dawn DiPrince s rise in the history and story-telling of Colorado s past is set to take another leap.
The Board of Directors of History Colorado announced Tuesday that DiPrince will take over as the organization s new executive director. The search for outgoing executive director Steve Turner s replacement after 13 years in the role evaluated over 100 applicants across the nation.
DiPrince will take over the role Sept. 1, 2021. Her selection was a unanimous vote from the board. I immediately thought about my ancestors and my great grandmother, DiPrince said. She immigrated from Italy in the 19-teens and on her ship s manifest, she put Elm Street, Pueblo, Colorado as her destination.
