Ashley K. Bright, 40, is the chief professional officer of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Wyoming, which includes Casper, Glenrock, Douglas and Shoshoni. There are currently 3,900 members ages 6 to 18 who belong to a club branch or satellite site. His board has recently shifted from a growth agenda to an impact agenda with four pillars — building stronger clubs, impact with growth, assuring greater public trust and expanding programs beyond walls. He and his wife, Allyson, have four children, Kaylee, Kirsten, Taylor and Caden. As he often does, rather than asking a staff member, in February Bright was a father to the fatherless, leaving Casper at 11:45 p.m., to drive a club member to Cheyenne for a contest that was to begin at 7 a.m. the next day.
