About Beyond the Dais - The Stories of El Paso County

El Paso County lies in east central Colorado and encompasses more than 2,158 square miles.

From local government officials to leaders in the community, Beyond the Dais will step off the elevated platform of the Chamber and shine a spotlight on the people working to make El Paso County a great place to visit, work, and live.
