Sign Up Today – Here at Denver International Airport (DEN), one of the four guiding principles of our Vision 100 Plan is Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI). It’s an important topic for employees and our community—one we only seek to understand first so that we can then promote, adopt, and celebrate. DEN must ensure that we don’t just talk about our commitment—we must consistently demonstrate it in all our business practices, which includes DEN’s procurement evaluations.

The DEN Commerce Hub is recruiting community members to serve as Community Panelists on DEN procurement evaluation panels. DEN is committed to a fair and impartial procurement process and to helping small businesses succeed. As a volunteer member of a procurement evaluation panel, you will help the airport select the most qualified, responsive, and responsible proposal while also gaining insight into the DEN procurement process and an understanding of elements that make a proposal successful. If you are interested in serving as a panelist, sign up today.
