• Please Welcome Jeff Rupp, CCDB's New Executive Director

• 

• Welcome to Jeff Rupp, CCDB's new executive director, who took over for Kathleen Murphy in early November 2025. Rupp brings an entire career of nonprofit leadership and management experience, most recently as the Executive Director of the Colorado Judicial Institute and Vice President of Professional Development at the Association of Fundraising Professionals. In his spare time, Rupp is an avid alpine skier and youth rugby coach.

  "This is an exciting time for CCDB," said Rupp, "and I'm thrilled at the opportunity to drive impact and help implement CCDB's new strategic goals: to strengthen member engagement and sense of community, affirm CCDB’s role as a key advocate for criminal justice reform, and ensure the organization's long-term sustainability."

• CCDB Diversity Statement

• Equitable representation is indispensable for competent representation. CCDB combats the inequities, discrimination, and inequalities of the criminal legal system by giving members tools to confront bias. We advocate for diversity on the bench and legislative action to effect change. We prioritize inclusion - for our members and for the entire legal community.
