Eight of Colorado’s most exceptional leaders of 2020 have been awarded Governor’s Citizenship Medals, state officials announced Tuesday.
The leadership development group CiviCO teamed up with Gov. Jared Polis to honor seven individuals and one organization for providing much-needed leadership in an unprecedented year that included a global pandemic and widespread civic unrest.
“These eight remarkable leaders have paved the way for community advancement and put Colorado on the map for how individuals and organizations serve their communities and make statewide impact,” Polis said in a news release.
The recipients will be feted at a virtual event as part of Colorado Leadership Month, the release stated.
