Monday, August 31, 2026 is proclaimed "Kim Bowman Day."
Kim joined Posada in 1991 as Director of Development, a role in which she spent nearly three decades building the financial and programmatic infrastructure that would define the organizations' growth. In 1997, she took on a mission that would become her signature contribution to Southern Colorado: leading Posada's designation and ongoing work as Pueblo's sole Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO), positioning Posada as a force for affordable housing expansion in the region. itis is a distinction that requires technical expertise in housing finance and federal compliance, plus deep community trust.
IN 2018, Kim assumed the role of Executive Director, bringing with her a foundation of institutional knowledge, community relationship, and operational credibility. Under her leadership, and across her broader tenure at Posada, she has overseen the development and renovation of 197 single and multifamily housing units, assembled low-income housing tax credit funding packages in excess of $27 million, and established Alpha West- wholly owned subsidiary dedicated to expanding affordable housing development.
What sets Kim apart is not simply what she has built- it is how she has build it. Known among colleagues, funders and community partners as a resilient, high-energy, and charismatic leader, Kim combines strategic vision with a "get it done" approach that inspires confidence. With more than 35 years of leadership at Posada, Inc. in Pueblo, Colorado, her ability to hold the big picture while attending to the operational details that matter most has been the engine behind Posada's longevity and impact.
Kim's leadership extends well beyond Posada's walls. She has served as Board Chair or Rosemount Museum, board member of education at the Shrine of St. Therese Catholic School, a member of the Pueblo Homeless Coalition, grant reviewer for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and a judge for Historic Preservation Colorado Springs. A proud graduate of Colorado State University Pueblo with a degree in mass Communication with an emphasis in Journalism, Kim brings the storyteller's instinct to everything she does- never losing sight of the human story at the center of the work. As she concludes her tenure at Posada, her legacy is not measured only in housing units built or dollars raised, but in the lives stabilized, the staff she mentored, and the community she helped shape over more than three decades of purposeful, principled leadership.
Mayor Heather Graham proclaimed Monday, August 31, 2026 as "KIM BOWMAN DAY" and urges the citizens of pueblo to join her in expressing appreciation for Ms. Bowman's efforts to create safe, supporting spaces for everyone in the Pueblo community.
