Meet Morgan Mote, Chief of Staff at First & Fourteenth
Morgan brings more than 16 years of experience in executive operations, financial management, budgeting, fundraising, and organizational leadership across nonprofit, legal, and behavioral-health settings. She is a results-oriented leader known for navigating complex, high-stakes environments with discretion, strategic rigor, and sound judgment.
In her prior roles, Morgan worked closely with attorneys, courts, boards, and executive leadership to oversee confidential administrative functions, compliance-driven operations, and organizational infrastructure. Her background includes managing multi-million-dollar budgets, leading large multidisciplinary teams, and strengthening internal systems in highly regulated environments, including her role as Chief Program Officer at Griffith Centers.
Previously, Morgan spent fifteen years with Forge Evolution (formerly Colorado Springs Teen Court), serving eight of those years as Chief Executive Officer. There, she partnered with judicial and legal stakeholders, oversaw court-related operations, and led programs supporting justice-involved youth and families—contributing to long-term organizational stability and community impact.
Morgan is a 2023 Women of Influence Award recipient and a graduate of the Colorado Springs Leadership Institute and Leadership Pikes Peak. She earned her B.A. in Communication, magna cum laude, from Colorado Christian University and is currently pursuing a Master of Social Work.
Outside of work, Morgan values time with her family above all else. She enjoys traveling and scenic mountain drives with her husband and two teenagers—and when they’re not traveling for leisure, they’re often on the road for youth sports, embracing each moment together.
We’re proud to welcome Morgan to the team!
