Glo Cunningham has lived in Crested Butte for over 47 years. She first got involved with non-profits in 1977 with the fight to Save Red Lady and High Country Conservation Advocates (then High Country Citizens’ Alliance). She has been a part of over 40 non-profits either through volunteering at events, on boards, being a member or helping to create or start many events and non-profits. She retired as the Executive Director of the Crested Butte Mountain Heritage Museum after 14 years but still gives tours as well as helps with events. Glo is a past Business Woman of the Year, and has been honored to be a Red Lady, a Harvest Mother, Flauschink Queen, Zombie Queen, and Mardi Gras Queen, and last year she was selected to be a Crone for Vinotok as a symbol of a Wise Woman of the community. She is currently on the 1% for Open Space Board and the Land Preservation Board.
