Paige Piper stood on the Applewood Golf Course on Sept. 21, watching the sun rise behind dozens of players gathered for Localworks’ first-ever golf tournament, and knew she had succeeded.
A year and a half since Piper had taken over as Localworks executive director, it was a huge victory to see so many people come out to support the organization, she said.
“I just feel very personally attached to this mission and Localworks has grown a lot,” Piper said. “I’m really proud of everything that we were able to do in the past year.”
Piper set out to completely rebrand the Wheat Ridge nonprofit, which supports business and residents to create a vibrant local network, and recenter its mission to be more suited towards community needs and challenges. As the organization heads into the new year, Piper is grateful she can give back to the community that raised her.
As a Wheat…
