Richard Lamm is Director of the Center for Public Policy & Contemporary Issues at the University of Denver. He is one of the new breed of policy analysts who argues that the challenge of the 21st Century is to meet new public needs by reconceptualizing much of what government does and how it does it.

Lamm maintains we cannot retire the baby boomers under our current social systems, nor provide health care without rethinking the goals of medicine.

Richard Lamm has always been in the forefront of political change. As a first year legislator, he drafted and succeeded in passing the nation's first liberalized abortion law. He was an early leader of the environmental movement. Reacting to the high cost of campaigning, he walked for Governor of Colorado. Lamm was elected to three terms as Colorado's top elected official, and in serving as Governor from January 1975 to January 1987, he was the longest-serving governor in Colorado's history.

Richard Lamm was selected as one of Time Magazine's "200 Young Leaders of America" in 1974, and won the Christian Science Monitor "Peace 2020" essay in 1985. In 1992, he was honored by the Denver Post and Historic Denver, Inc. as one of the "Colorado 100" -- people who made significant contributions to Colorado and made lasting impressions on the state's history. He was Chairman of the Pew Health Professions Commission, and a public member of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.

During 1996, Lamm appeared on virtually every national news program, including Larry King Live and Inside Politics (CNN), Today (NBC), Meet the Press (NBC), ABC's Good Morning America, Lehrer NewsHour (PBS), and CBS's Face the Nation. His editorials have appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle, New York Times, Christian Science Monitor, Newsday, Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, and Chicago Tribune, as well as in a number of academic and medical journals. While Governor, Lamm wrote or co-authored six books: A California Conspiracy; Megatraumas: America in the Year 2000; The Immigration Time Bomb: The Fragmentation of America; 1988; Pioneers & Politicians and The Angry West.

The Center for Public Policy & Contemporary Issues advances the University of Denver's commitment to the study and discussion of American society's most critical issues. Research produced by the Center is targeted at influential policy makers nationwide.

The Center contributes to the national policy dialogue through an active program of conferences, seminars, courses, forums, and several monograph series.
