Walt Glover’s work behind the finances of America’s Olympic and Paralympic movement earned him a local honor in Colorado Springs. Mayor Yemi Mobolade presented him with the Spirit of Colorado Springs Inspiration Award, according to the city’s Nov. 4 announcement.
Glover spent more than two decades in the Olympic and Paralympic movement. His roles included director of budgets and analysis, chief financial officer and treasurer at the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee. He later became executive vice president and chief operating officer of the U.S. Olympic Endowment.
His local service also included leadership positions involving the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Pikes Peak YMCA, Care and Share Food Bank and Pikes Peak Preparatory Charter School. The city cited that mix of financial experience and community work in explaining the award.
