Vance Wagner, a Grand Junction banking executive who’s served on the boards of a variety of business and philanthropic organizations, has received further recognition for his efforts.

Mathias Mulumba, the founder of an organization that helps orphans and widows in Uganda, also was honored.

The Grand Junction Area Chamber of Commerce named Wagner its Citizen of the Year. The Young Professionals Network of Mesa County named Mulumba its Young Professional of the Year.

Wagner has worked 30 years with ANB Bank, including stints in Aspen, Carbondale, Glenwood Springs and Rifle. He moved to Grand Junction in 2010 to become regional president.

He’s subsequently served on a variety of boards, including the Grand Junction Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. He served a year as board chairman.

Wagner also has served on the boards of the Downtown Development Authority, Grand Junction Air Service Alliance and St. Mary’s Medical Center.

With his support, the Western Slope Triple Play has become one of the largest women’s golf tournaments in Colorado. Proceeds from the tournament benefit Hilltop’s Latimer House, which provides services to those affected by partner violence and sexual assault.

Mulumba grew up in Uganda, but immigrated to the United States and attends Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction.

He founded Father to the Fatherless International, a nonprofit organization and ministry that provides services to windows, orphans and others in Uganda. The organization operates a children’s home, church, clinic and schools as well as various programs.

Mulumba is involved not only in CMU, but also his local church and various political groups.
