It also named Mary T. Brown, the former mayor of Steamboat Springs, as president.Former president Fred Niehaus is now director emeritus of InterMountain's newly formed board of directors.
Niehaus and Schilling co-founded the company in 1991. The latest transition has been in motion for several years, says Niehaus, the former economic development director for former Gov. Roy Romer.
"Tom has been instrumental in building this company from scratch into what it is today - an influential voice in Colorado business and politics," says Niehaus. "Mary brings to the table an incomparable level of experience in environmental and land use issues, as well as an expansive network of contacts in industry and government around the state."
The 50-year-old Schilling is a Denver native. Prior to co-founding InterMountain, he served as communications director for the Colorado Office of Economic Development under Romer. He also worked as a business reporter for the Rocky Mountain News in Denver and as a general assignment reporter for the Chicago Tribune. Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper recently appointed him to the Denver Board of Human Services.
Brown has been InterMountain's lead lobbyist since 1999. Prior to joining the firm, she served as manager of intergovernmental relations for the Colorado Department of Public Health under both Romer and Gov. Bill Owens.
InterMountain's clients have included Lake Cedar Group, in which they helped rezone Lookout Mountain for digital TV conversion, Marathon Oil, the Lowry Landfill, Brown Retail and the Cotter Corp., Bear Stearns & Co., and the completion of the I-70 East Corridor Environmental Impact Statement for the Colorado Department of Transpiration, Regional Transportation District and Denver.
