Bert BorgmannBert Borgmann spent more than 40 years with the Colorado High School Activities Association, reflecting a legacy of leadership, advocacy, and growth in education-based activities. He championed Speech & Debate and Music programs, elevating their visibility and ensuring they received the same respect as traditional athletics. Borgmann also guided the development of CHSAA's corporate partnerships, which provided vital resources to sustain and grow opportunities for students statewide. Known nationally for his leadership, he represented Colorado on numerous NFHS committees, helping to shape policy and best practices across the country. With all of those accolades, his most lasting achievement will be the creation of the CHSAA Hall of Fame.
“He was very special to the sports world in Colorado,” said his daughter, Callie Kryder. “He was special to a lot of people and we’re really grateful that he’s getting the recognition that he deserves.”
Said his son Logan: “This is one of the most well-deserved appointments to this Hall of Fame. He lived and breathed this. This was his baby. And if he were here today, he would say there are so many people more deserving than me. I’m happy to be here to celebrate him today.”
