The Colorado City and County Management Association has named Wheat Ridge City Manager Patrick Goff Manager of the Year. Goff received the award last month at the CCCMA’s Winter Conference in Glenwood Springs. Goff joined the City of Wheat Ridge in 2002 as administrative services director then deputy city manager before being promoted to city manager in 2010.
The Manager of the Year award honors a CCCMA member that has made an outstanding contribution to local government in the past year. Goff was nominated by the city’s executive management team for his leadership in 2014.
“Last year was a landmark one for the city and Patrick was a driving force in many key initiatives,” said Wheat Ridge Mayor Joyce Jay. He not only helped promote economic growth and development, but fostered partnerships and leveraged funding to make Wheat Ridge a better community.”
In 2014, developers broke ground on three new residential communities, a new retail center housing the city’s first Sprouts Farmer’s Market began construction and Wheat Ridge was ranked as one of the best places in the nation to retire.
“Wheat Ridge is gaining more attention as both a great place to live and work and it’s clear Patrick deserves credit for increasing the City’s visibility,” said CCCMA Board Member Matthew Birnie, president and county manager for Gunnison County.
The CCCMA is a statewide association of local government managers and assistants. The organization offers career development, networking and tends to the professional needs of its members that come from the unique changes of the profession. The CCCMA is an affiliate of International City/County Management Association.
