Cities Apply for the All-America Award

The All-America City Award is one of the nation's most prestigious community recognition awards. Since 1949, the award has honored communities of all sizes (cities, towns, counties, neighborhoods, and regions) where community members, government, businesses, and nonprofit organizations work together to address critical local issues. More than 500 communities have earned this distinguished title and many have earned it more than once.

If your community works collaboratively to overcome local challenges, it could become an All-America City and serve as a national model for other communities. The application process alone represents a valuable opportunity to evaluate the way your community manages opportunities and challenges, which can make your community stronger. Communities that earn the All-America City title realize numerous benefits, including:

Local, state, and national recognition

Greater civic pride and greater civic collaboration

Economic stimulus

"This prestigious award recognizes America's heroes who have taken responsibility for their communities, who form partnerships among citizens, local government and private businesses to ensure that we meet the urgent needs of our people and open new opportunities to our neighbors," said former president Bill Clinton, in a Rose Garden Ceremony for All-America Cities.

The deadline for applications is March 9, 2006. To obtain an application, or for more information, visit: http://www.ncl.org/aac/2006/application_options.html or contact Humeyumptewa at the National Civic League at 303-571-4343, ext 1218.
