Our Keynote Speaker was: Colorado's Lt. Governor Dianne Primavera!
Colorado's Lt. Governor Dianne Primavera was the perfect keynote speaker for the 4th Annual Jeffco International Women's Day. In 2019 we are focused on women's health, and Ms. Primavera has comprehensive knowledge and personal experience in this area.
Dianne is a leading patient advocate who has spent three decades fighting for every Coloradan’s access to quality, affordable health care. She was great!

Our City Sponsor was the City of Golden!
Golden, Colorado is rich with culture, outdoor activities, scenic beauty, thriving businesses, and friendly people, but the City’s origins are largely thanks to another valuable resource – gold. A small amount of gold discovered in Clear Creek attracted the area’s earliest settlers in the mid-19th century and Golden City quickly became an important supply stop for gold miners seeking their fortunes in the adjacent mountains. Farmers soon discovered the rich soil in the valley that is now home to the Coors complex, and Golden City further swelled as coal mining and clay extraction industries settled in the area, utilizing the region’s ample natural resources. Golden City became the capital of the federally recognized Colorado Territory in 1862, and the territorial legislature met from 1862 to 1867 in the building that is now home to the Old Capitol Grill restaurant.
By the end of the 1860s, Golden City had been elected the seat of Jefferson County and the capital of the provisional Jefferson Territory. Locals were outraged when neighboring Denver snagged the honor of becoming capital of the newly formed state in 1876, but the loss of name distinction did nothing to dampen Golden’s vital growth. Today, the town continues to thrive. It offers residents and visitors an abundance of recreational, cultural and culinary opportunities. It's a modern town with old west flair!
Plenty of "swag" was given away!
A "rebounder" from Attain Your Vision Lifestyle Strategies was one of the many door prizes and gifts at the 4th Annual Jeffco International Women's Day in 2019. All attendees also received a great bag of "swag" to take home.
Why are the IX Power Foundation and IX Power Clean Water involved in International Women's Day?
Water and the treatment of Women (and other disadvantaged peoples) - they are at the intersection of the world's most pressing issues. The IX Power companies have dedicated their corporate missions to helping improve the future of both.
Here's one part of the situation to start putting the whole picture in perspective!
In 80% of households without close access to water, the responsibility falls on women and girls
to fetch and carry it. Around the world, females spend 200 million hours per day getting and water for their households. In poorer nations, they walk an average of nearly four miles per day
for it. The time and energy used to access clean water perpetuates the cycle of poverty. Hours
spent retrieving water means hours not working or studying. A study in Tanzania showed a
12% increase in attendance when water could be found within 15 minutes of more remote
villages.
A further concern is the danger involved. In areas like Yemen, Syria, Iraq, and the border between Afghanistan and Iran, water is not only a source of discord, it is dangerous for women to make the trek to water sources each day. In addition to potential conflict between factions, there are risks of physical or sexual assault. Fetching water may, in fact, be truly dangerous. There is also the physical toll of carrying water. Jerry cans are used, each of which holds an average of five gallons and weighs 40 pounds. Women most often carry those containers on their heads, leading to serious injury to neck and spine, made worse when carried by young girls.
There are organizations that are trying to help these women. Concern Worldwide is one. They have a program that builds wells and boreholes in remote areas. They also ship water to areas stricken by drought. There are also a number of organizations that focus on bringing water
closer to impoverished areas. Information about those can be found here: https://www.classy.org/blog/nonprofits-address-global-water-crisis/
A not-for-profit 501 (c) 3 organization, the IX Power Foundation was founded in 2012 to advance innovative technologies and organizations focused on improving the planet.
The Foundation's leading concern is clean water - assisting the promotion of technologies that can turn water contaminated by industry and resource extraction methods and turning it into clean "found" water that can be utilized by people, livestock and agriculture.
An Informative Interview on Produced Water from the Oil & Gas Industry
and the future of Small Nuclear Power
John Grizz Deal, CEO of the IX Power Clean Water, was recently interviewed on the "POWER HOUR" about the opportunities for produced water from oil & gas operations, and about the history and future of Small Modular (nuclear power) Reactors (SMRs).
Before taking the helm at IX Power Clean Water, Grizz was the CEO at Hyperion Power Generation, the first SMR company to present a new reactor design before the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in the 21st century.

The Foundation's work on water issues is augmented by a variety of interests and activities on a local, regional, and global scale.
All of our activities can be categorized into three main areas:
- Knowledge Transfer: Assisting “positive-goal”-profit and non-profit businesses and organizations by transferring key knowledge that assists growth and direction. The Foundation does this by offering consulting services, speakers and teachers, and placement of exceptional scientific and executive talent.
- Issue Promotion: Promoting and supporting issues and technological advancements, both local and abroad, that create a positive nexus for humanity, the economy, and the environment.
- Project Creation: Creating and supporting projects both within the U.S. and internationally that encourage and demonstrate advancements in technologies and practices that improve living conditions of the population, while preferably also having a positive impact on the environment.
