RE/MAX technology grows together, providing one-of-a-kind advantages for affiliates so they can deliver the right message at the right time to the right people.

Ivonne Payes’ parents immigrated to the U.S. from El Salvador but were never able to achieve homeownership. She opened RE/MAX American Dream to make sure others could.

After spending the last couple months of 2019 getting acquainted, Maisterrena was poking around in early 2020 and found the game-changer she was looking for: the First® app, a tool exclusive to RE/MAX affiliates.

The KKK arrived quietly in Denver in 1921, announcing themselves in a letter to various newspapers on June 17. Their targets were mainly the Catholic and Jewish communities. Their power came not just from violence, but from gaining economic and political control. Eventually, Regis University fought back, banding together with other Catholic groups to fight the KKK.

Regis University's cybersecurity program was on life support. Connections across the military, real-world and classroom helped the University get it back on track. Dean Don Archer brought it to new levels, leading the industry and students to bold new places.

Regis University serves those populations at the farthest margins. In partnering with Jesuit Worldwide Learning, Regis provides education to those in refugee camps in Africa.

Long hours, low pay and insufficient training were only some of the reasons for the teaching shortage in Colorado. At Regis University, the program trains teachers that not only are ready for the workforce but are also built to last.

Chris Steele grew up in the Regis neighborhood only a block south of campus. Then, it was gritty but dripped with culture and characters. Gentrification hadn’t become a lazy word thrown around by those trying to stay woke. Houses weren’t being razed for skinny apartment buildings marketed as “Just miles from downtown!” Brown Berets kept peace and the Chicano movement was alive. Gangs had corners and it meant something to be from the Northside or the Westside. Sometimes it wasn’t good to be from either.

— Vic Wild barreled down the parallel giant slalom course at the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park, knifing through the gates and kicking up the slush of Russian snow. Down below, Justin Reiter stood with his left hand shielding the sun from his face, his eyes dripping tears, unable to look away from the video board above the stadium. Unfolding between the two was a story of two best friends, two opposite nations and two snowboarders who have gone at it differently. Wild, born in White Salmon, Wash.,

Amid a chandelier of stars and a backdrop that didn’t seem so far from home, a contingent from Mexico’s remote Copper Canyon is making Summit Lake outside Steamboat Springs seem like paradise. Spaghetti out of a Ziploc bag and corn tortillas immediately go on the grill. Wine is opened, and an 18-pack of Natural Light beer is attacked. As one says, “Amigo, we’re athletes in training. Eat up. Drink up.” The 950-mile trip from near Chihuahua, Mexico, has taken its toll. The group left Sunday and arrived Wednesday evening, days behind schedule. The van — after having troubles with the title and registration in Ciudad Juarez — lost a fuel pump the first day.

• In the shadow: A glimpse at immigration reform and how it has affected Steamboat The entrance to Steamboat Springs High School provides a pristine view. Mount Werner’s peak pokes over the top of the school like a big brother in a family photo. Step inside the school at lunch and the buzz begins. Groups of students wearing cowboy hats and pearl-snap shirts gather in one area. Kids in gym shorts and athletic hoodies dot another. Meander past the rows of circular tables in the commons area, p

Kelly Meek’s always done it his way. He’s been a disciplinarian, a tactician, a phenomenal scout and an incredible game planner. He’s got a mind that can recite the score of any game or moment from the past 36 years. He’s won 544 games in basketball and four state titles in track. Only Denver Christian’s Dick Katte has won more games at one school. The numbers are mind-boggling, sure, but when looking at the work of Meek, what sticks out isn’t just the wins or losses. If it were all about

— You could just tell. His voice wasn’t the same, and he sounded tired. It was on a Skype call in early January when Johnny Spillane and his wife, Hilary, were in Russia on a “work vacation.” It marked the couple’s first trip away from their daughters, Hadley and Genevieve, in years. The Spillanes were happy to be together, but there was that trepidation in his voice. He answered every question honestly and thoughtfully. The couple was sincere about what it had been like to raise a family wit
