He and his fellow laureates are being honored for enduring and innovative professional contributions to Colorado, inspirational and ethical acumen, and philanthropic endeavors.

Mr. Wright co-founded AMG with Michael Bergmann, Ph.D., nearly 50 years ago, to set a standard for independent and objective wealth management focused on a client’s whole financial picture.

Mr. Wright has long been involved with community, education, and public policy issues. In 2010, he co-founded the nonpartisan Common Sense Institute to provide fact-based economic analysis that helps educate and inform policy debates about issues in Colorado. He also has served as trustee, board member, and chair of various committees associated with college preparatory schools, private and public universities, and their foundations.

Among other honors, Mr. Wright previously was recognized as a “Master in Profession” from his undergraduate alma mater, the University of Nebraska at Lincoln; Citizen of the Year from the Villager newspaper (Greenwood Village); and the Presidential Award from Doane University.
