Sahara,
So excited to hear you may be interested in AI. I too am going through this process and live in Colorado. There are many options here and I will do a little research for you to better inform you however, CutiePie's post was very informative. I will let you know what I find out as well. Welcome to GC and the search for your "home" - This site has been a tremendous help to me and I couldn't have asked for better people to help me a long the way.
Again welcome and I will do what ever I can do to help in your AI search here in Colorado.
I will be touching base with you soon.
Brooke
