DLG Welcomes Shawn Wright

DLG proudly welcomes Shawn Wright, who joins the team as the new Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Coordinator.  Wright, who will coordinate CDBG's Public Facilities, Housing and Economic Development programs, brings a wealth of valuable and varied experience with her.

Prior to becoming CDBG Coordinator, she was an Asset Manager with DOLA's Division of Housing.  She served 17 years as a Neighborhood Support Supervisor and Neighborhood Liaison, providing organizational and development assistance to neighborhood associations.

Early in her career, she was as a First Grade teacher in Opheim, Montana, and became a stock broker in Denver.

The Wyoming native enjoys mountain biking, gardening, hiking and horses and is a former volunteer coordinator for Colorado Horse Rescue.  She currently serves on DOLA's Employee Quality Team (EQT), where she provides a generous dose of enthusiasm and energy to wide variety of fund raising activities throughout the year.

Welcome, Shawn!
