We work tirelessly to break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and create pathways to success. Through partnerships with educators, industry leaders, and community organizations, we strive to make STEM accessible and exciting.
President, and Executive Director
Dr. Brigham is dedicated to preparing African Americans and other underrepresented minority students for STEM careers. After retiring from CH2M in 2018, Dr. Brigham became the Executive Director of the Colorado Association of Black Professional Engineers and Scientists (CABPES). He has been the President of CABPES since 1995.
CABPES’s mission is to encourage and assist traditionally underrepresented minority youth in pursuing careers in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professions. CABPES envisions a community whereby the number of minority STEM professionals will increase to the level that better represents the minority population while assisting the industry in meeting the growing demand for STEM professionals.
