Awards

NADO sponsors two annual award programs to nationally recognize the impressive efforts of regional development organizations. The Innovation Award honors significant advances in community and economic development, including but not limited to small business finance, energy and infrastructure projects, housing and human services, sustainable development, workforce development, and more. The Innovation Award application process opens in the spring, and recipients are honored at NADO’s Annual Training Conference.

The application for the 2012 Innovation Award is now open. To view requirements and access the application, click here.

The Excellence in Regional Transportation Award, a program of NADO’s RPO America and the NADO Research Foundation’s Center for Transportation Advancement and Regional Development, recognizes noteworthy projects and practices in rural and small metropolitan transportation planning, programming, and service delivery. The application period for the Excellence Awards is open until March 26 (http://www NULL.zoomerang NULL.com/Survey/WEB22ETB3FMFW6/), and recipients of the Excellence in Regional Transportation Award will be honored at the National Rural Transportation Peer Learning Conference.

Both awards provide an excellent opportunity for members to promote their successes to a national audience and with their regional and local partners. Applicants must be members of NADO, and projects must show substantial quantitative or qualitative results in your region.
