Longtime municipal official stepping down

The Colorado Municipal League recognizes individuals stepping down after service of eight or more years as elected officials. Their commitment to their municipalities represents the essence of leadership, effective governance, and empowerment of their communities for the benefit of all.

Please email Maeve McHugh, CML municipal research analyst, at mmchugh@cml.org with any other officials completing eight or more years of elected service that have not already been recognized. 


Ann-Marie Sandquist
Silverthorne mayor since 2018, mayor pro tem 2014-2016, council member since 2008
As mayor, Ann-Marie Sandquist served Silverthorne with a focus on fostering smart economic growth and responsible development; enhancing local recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike; providing impeccable services and maintaining the town’s existing assets; and striving for absolute fiscal transparency, accountability, and responsibility. Prior to her time on council and in the mayor's office, she served on the town’s planning committee. She is a decorated financial advisor with 24 years of experience. When asked why she joined town council, Sandquist said "my dad has always said that if you don’t participate then you really need to shut the heck up! One of the reasons that I love Silverthorne is because in every sense of the word, we are a community, and our growth and vibe come from the ideas, the volunteerism, the participation, and the hard work of our community members. I’m proud to live here, and serving on town council is my way of participating in our community and hopefully making it a more enjoyable place."
