About the Office

DORA is dedicated to preserving the integrity of the marketplace and is committed to promoting a fair and competitive business environment in Colorado. Consumer protection is our mission.

The Office works with the Governor's Office, the General Assembly, other departments in state government, federal agencies and national associations to further their respective goals. It provides leadership, coordination, control and various management services to the divisions to ensure that the Department's mission is fulfilled and that objectives are met within the resources allocated. A major program within the Executive Director's Office is the Office of Policy, Research and Regulatory Reform (OPRRR). OPRRR provides sunset and sunrise regulatory evaluations and policy recommendations to the General Assembly. In addition, OPRRR supplements the research function of the Executive Director's Office by providing assistance with legislative and policy issues. Without these activities, there would be no centralized coordination or accountability to the Governor, General Assembly or the public, and no coordination of initiatives or accountability within the Department. The Executive Director's Office offers a single point of contact for information regarding these areas.
