LAKEWOOD, Colo. (April 23, 2025) - AAA - Colorado's largest membership-based, not-for-profit organization - today announced it will host a student enrichment forum at Lakewood's McLain Community High School on Wednesday, April 30. The event will bring 60 students together with AAA and Colorado community leaders for conversations about financial literacy, career planning, and overcoming obstacles - while providing networking opportunities across fields.
"For more than 100 years, AAA has met Coloradans wherever they are," said Skyler McKinley, regional director of public affairs at AAA. “Often, that's the roadside - but as a leader in insurance and financial products, too, we couldn't be more excited to join with McLain Community High School in conversations with future leaders about making the most of their personal and professional goals.”
