Urban Legend Honoree
Michael B. Hancock
Michael B. Hancock served three terms as Mayor of Denver, leading the city’s economic recovery from the Great Recession. Facing a $100 million deficit, he partnered with regional experts and the private sector to create a stable financial foundation through job creation, business growth and workforce development. Under his leadership, Denver became one of the fastest-growing economies, attracting over 18,000 new companies and $6.6 billion in investments before COVID. He is CEO of Hancock Global Services, LLC, offering expertise in organizational management, strategic planning and crisis management. Additionally, he founded the Hancock Foundation, Inc., with the mission to strengthen democracy and civic engagement through cultural education and awareness. The Foundation organizes an annual Heritage Fellowship and Heritage tours to historic sites.
While Mayor, Hancock directed $16.7 million in general obligation (GO) bonds as part of his RISE (Rebuilding for an Inclusive and Sustainable Economy) plan to help Urban Peak build The Mothership. His leadership and experience continue to support initiatives addressing youth homelessness, affordable housing and community resilience. His contribution was instrumental in the building of the Mothership, and at Urban Nights, we plan to honor him for his unwavering commitment to Urban Peak.
