Every year, CivicPlus invites customers to submit a nomination for the Community Impact Awards and share projects or initiatives that are shaping how residents experience local government. Behind each nomination is a story: a challenge that needed solving, an idea that took shape, and impact felt by the community.
Join us for a live conversation with this year’s Community Impact Award finalists as they share how they brought their award-winning submissions to live and what other local government leaders can learn from their experience.
What to expect:
- A peer-to-peer conversation about the challenges finalists faced and how they worked through them
- The behind-the-scenes story of how each idea moved from concept to reality
- The measurable impact these initiatives have had on residents and staff
- Practical takeaways and lessons learned that you can bring back to your own community
These are the stories behind the work, told by the people who lived it. Walk away with fresh ideas and a clearer sense of what’s possible in your own community.
