Beyond the Office

Thanks to the generosity of our leadership, a suite at Ball Arena during a Colorado Avalanche game provided a great opportunity to connect outside the office, strengthen relationships, and enjoy time together in a fun and relaxed setting.

Our team member Hillary, and her sister, Megan, recently completed an 11-day trek to Everest Base Camp. Reaching elevations of more than 18,000 feet, they faced challenging conditions, breathtaking landscapes, and the physical and mental demands that come with one of the world's most iconic adventures.

We had the opportunity to connect with our neighboring businesses to celebrate the U.S. Air Force Academy Graduation and watch the incredible Thunderbirds Flyover. It was a great opportunity to honor the achievements of the graduating cadets while strengthening the relationships that make our business community so special. 

Janet and Hillary attended Commonwealth’s Summit for Women in Ojai, California, where they joined an inspiring community of women advisors for three days of learning, collaboration, and professional growth. Featuring keynote speaker Academy Award-winning actor and advocate Geena Davis, the event provided fresh perspectives and valuable insights that they look forward to bringing back to better serve our clients and community.

Hillary and Leslie visited Commonwealth’s new headquarters in Waltham, Massachusetts, where they connected with colleagues, exchanged ideas, and explored the new office space. The trip provided valuable opportunities for collaboration, learning, and relationship-building, while reinforcing the strong partnerships that help us better serve our clients.

In 2025, Motivus established a new tradition of directing funds typically spent on holiday gifts toward an annual charitable contribution benefiting a local organization. For our inaugural year, we were honored to support Catholic Charities, specifically the Hunt Family Housing program, which provides critical support and housing resources for individuals and families in need.

The Hunt Family Housing project is dedicated to strengthening community and family stability by expanding access to safe, transitional housing for low-income and vulnerable families. By providing stable housing, families are better positioned to focus on other important aspects of long-term stability, including employment, health, financial well-being, and creating a strong foundation for their families to thrive.

The annual Hawk charity golf tournament was another tremendous success, bringing together 20 teams for a day of competition, camaraderie, and giving back. The event raises funds to support the Colorado Mesa University Men’s Basketball program as well as the memorial scholarship established in honor of Hillary’s father, a standout Mesa basketball player in the 1980s who passed away from colon cancer in 2018. His legacy continues to make a lasting impact by helping future students and athletes pursue their educational goals. This year’s tournament featured strong participation from the community, including three teams from Motivus Wealth. Chris’s team delivered an impressive performance, finishing in 2nd place behind the perennial champions who seem to win every year. Kevin and Hillary’s team secured a respectable 5th-place finish, while Janet’s team battled hard and finished tied for 10th. Overall, the tournament was a wonderful way to honor a beloved Mesa athlete, raise meaningful funds, and bring supporters together for a great cause.
