Living Landmarks Dinner & Fundraiser

Golden Landmarks Association (GLA) is proud to announce our Living Landmark honorees for 2017. Golden Landmarks (www.goldenlandmarks.com) has selected two individuals and one organization as this year’s recipients; each has a long history of commitment to community improvement. GLA is hosting its sixteenth Living Landmarks Dinner this year. The event recognizes individuals and organizations whose dedication to Golden has a positive impact on the City and the greater community. This year GLA is honored to recognize Vicki Wagner, Marcie Miller and Leadership Golden. Vicki Wagner has a long history of giving her heart and donating her time to Golden. Vicki has said that “serving on the Golden Urban Renewal Authority (GURA) in its early years, to currently serving on the Golden Visitors Center Board, has been very gratifying”. Vicki, a driving force behind the Golden Farmers Market and a long-time member of Golden Good Government League (3GL), “encourages all citizens to serve their community in some way.” Marcie Miller is a Golden native with a long history of leadership and community service. Marcie is a graduate of Leadership Golden and has supported Golden’s non-profit community by serving on the Boards of many organizations who promote the arts, the environment and historic preservation. She was twice elected to serve on Golden’s City Council and currently holds a position with the Colorado Railroad Museum. For more than thirty years Leadership Golden has served the Golden community as an educational and networking organization, providing a foundation for volunteerism, leadership, community understanding and participation in all types of community service. Approximately 600 participants have graduated from the Leadership Golden program and a high percentage are civic leaders, volunteers and community activists who are a network of citizens committed to Golden’s continued success. Honorees will be recognized on Friday, May 5th, 2017 in the Canyon Room at Mount Vernon Country Club in Golden, Colorado.
