What Is Action 22?March 26, 2004 Action 22 is a volunteer-driven membership organization of individuals, cities, communities, counties, associations, businesses and organizations in a 22 county region, banding together for a stronger voice at the State Legislature and in Washington, D.C. Action 22 represents a 36,530 sq. mile area (35% of the state) consisting of 850,000 citizens or 19.5% of the state's population. Sixty percent of the state legislature comes from the six metro Denver counties, leaving only 40% from the remaining 58 counties in Colorado. However, by banding together, the membership in the 22 county area of Southern Colorado work together with others to communicate with a stronger voice and SHAPE the policies affecting the southern Colorado area. Action 22 is a relatively young organization having been established at a Charter Convention on January 13, 1999. The first Board of Directors meeting was held in June of 1999 and its full-time office was opened in July of 2000. Over 400 representatives of the various membership categories are now involved in Action 22.
