usinessman and community advocate Mike Hanbery has announced his candidacy for Centennial City Council. He says he would represent District 1 with a strong spirit of efficiency, accountability and cooperation. During his past 10 years in Centennial, Hanbery says he has actively shared his passion, knowledge and resources to greatly benefit the community, and he would plan to bring that same sense of efficiency and focus to the City Council. “The next four years will be more developmentally active for Centennial than the last four,” he said. “The city deserves council representatives who will study the issues, show up prepared and take a critical and nonpartisan approach to decisions impacting our residents and businesses.” Hanbery’s platform emphasizes the city’s upcoming ballot proposal, which if passed by Centennial’s voters in November would make further use of the fiber optic cable beneath the city’s streets. “If 2G passes at the ballot, as I expect it to, the city will need a business plan,” the candidate said, emphasizing his executive master’s of business administration degree from the Daniels College of Business at the University of Denver. Hanbery’s experience in developing business plans in telecommunications comes from designing and negotiating content delivery systems for video
Mike Hanbery production studios and a digital signage business. “I worked in the cable and satellite TV business for 15 years,” he said. “I have the perspective and experience to ensure this new initiative is framed to benefit Centennial for the long term.” Hanbery’s professional background – managing people, programs and budgets in corporations and agencies – spans more than 20 years. The candidate is an alumnus of Cherry Creek High School and the University of Denver, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in mass communications and political science. He previously served on the Board of Directors for the Daniels College of Business’s Executive MBA Alumni Association. Hanbery’s community-building and volunteer activities include serving on the South Metro Denver Chamber’s Business Leaders for Responsible Government. He also sits on the Board of Advisors for the Chamber’s Cen-
