Dedicating his career to making a difference for youth, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Wyoming’s Chief Executive Officer has received the prestigious Blue Spirit Award, presented by the Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA). The award was presented this week to Ashley Bright at the Boys & Girls Clubs regional conference in Austin, Texas.

 

The Blue Spirit Award is the highest honor bestowed by the President of BCGA to a local club professional in a region. The award recognizes individuals who have demonstrated what it means to truly be a Club and community leader, and who have gone above and beyond to drive impact and make a difference.

 

For more than 27 years, Bright has exemplified a relentless spirit in his profession. He has been the leader at BGCCW for 19 years, growing it from two sites to 10 sites that serve over 3,000 youth each year. He has invested his life to building what he calls a “beloved community where all youth feel safe and loved.”
