Mikki Gates, TEDxManitouSprings Organizer and Curator, and her Executive Team are thrilled to be hosting the inaugural Manitou Springs event with a truly community-focused, inclusive vision.
“Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.”
— Andrew Carnegie
Curator. Leader.Connector. Inclusive. Fourth generation Colorado native Mikki Gates' community is very important to her. Beyond that, she has always wanted to support the greater good and connect with people who want to do more, be better, and spread messages that create a space to do these things.
In 2020, Gates’ community faced a year of separation, and isolation, but it was also a year that provided time to reflect and work towards the goals she always had but "didn't have time" to complete. It was during moments of reflection and growth that she thought about the types of connections that TED and TEDx create - not just in her community, but around the world. She had previously worked on a different TEDx event, so she understood the power of the TEDx name and the responsibility she’d have if she was to build an event of her own.
