What the community is saying about Nancy

Nancy's greatest strengths are her ability to listen, connect and communicate. It's that exact skill set that is needed on City Council as our city grows and our neighborhoods experience the realities of a larger community. Her natural tendency to collaborate and work collectively will serve our district and Colorado Springs well.

Amy Triandiflou; Neighborhood Advocate

Nancy is a community-builder and leader. During the 30 years she has spent listening to and engaging with our community, Nancy has always valued relationship-building and problem-solving. She will do her homework, engaging from day one in support of District 5. I wholeheartedly endorse the most qualified candidate, and I am looking forward to her active participation on Council in April.

Bill Murray, City Councilmember at-large

Nancy Henjum has the skills, the values, and the experience to serve our city well at a time when experienced leadership matters. She will truly listen to the concerns of her constituents and bring people together for the good of all. I’m pleased to endorse Nancy and urge you to vote for her for Council District 5.

Jan Martin, Former Council Pro Tem

The Pikes Peak region needs leaders who are focused on good governance and prioritize accessibility for residents to their elected officials. We need more local leaders, like Nancy, who care about engaging constituents by listening to their values and concerns and responding with commitment to constituent services.

Shawn Gullixson, President, D11 School Board

As the owner of a woman owned business and District 5 resident, it’s important that as we emerge from the pandemic our city leaders possess the same resilient and collaborative spirit of our small business community. I have no doubt that Nancy possesses the required experience to listen and lead on behalf of our district.

Andrea Barker; Principal - HB&A

I have found Nancy to be a fair-minded individual with a keen interest in community engagement and dialogue who will work hard and be the type of problem solver we need on City Council as our city navigates its way forward.

WELCOME

Hi, I'm Nancy Henjum. I'm a mom, community builder, and small business owner. Like many of you, Colorado Springs has an important place in my heart. I first experienced our community as a kid when my dad, Joe Henjum, was an instructor at the Air Force Academy.

30 years ago I began my career in Colorado Springs by helping individuals and families with their challenges as a clinical social worker. My work evolved from direct service to leading the system of care that served the Medicaid recipients for 43 of Colorado’s 63 counties by acting as COO with a public private partnership. That experience then led me to my affiliation with the Center for Creative Leadership serving as an executive coach and organizational consultant for companies of every type and size. Each of these professional experiences have:

Strengthened my belief in the power of connection
Sharpened my ability to listen and understand
Taught me the value of collaboration and engaging everyone in the solution

I will bring these leadership strengths and skills to serve Colorado Springs in this critical time as we develop our local economy, create strong neighborhoods, and ensure we have the parks and open space we want and need now and into a bright future. I invite you to read through my website and reach out and sign up for a virtual town hall or drop me an e-mail at nancy@nancyforcos.com with any thoughts or questions.  I want to hear from you.

In service and with gratitude,
Nancy
