GREAT LEADERSHIP MATTERS

The Governor’s Citizenship Medal is one of the highest honors bestowed upon the citizens or organizations of the state of Colorado for their meritorious contributions to the strength and vitality of the state.

A COLORADO TRADITION

Every day, Colorado’s citizens and organizations make extraordinary efforts to strengthen our communities, provide opportunities to fellow Coloradans, and move our state forward.

To honor their work and to inspire future generations to serve the interests of the state, Senator John Hickenlooper, in partnership with all living Colorado Governors, created the Colorado Governor’s Citizenship Medal (CGCM). The CGCM recognizes individuals and organizations from diverse sectors that make enduring impacts on the strength and vitality of the State of Colorado.

In its ninth year, Governor Polis will award six medals, one in each of the following categories: Colorado Mountain Leader, Vanguard Legacy, Emerging Community Leader, Growth & Innovation, Public & Community Service, and Corporate Citizenship.
