Positive local and national attention
- Award-winning projects gain national recognition via nado.org, NADO News, and are often featured in NADO Research Foundation reports and case studies.
- NADO’s legislative and research teams tap into the great resource of Impact Awards for testimony to Congress and as examples to share with federal agencies.
- Awardees receive an Impact Award certificate and a press release to announce the award to regional partners, stakeholders, and media outlets.
Showcase your success and network with peers
- A special roundtable reception showcases award-winning projects during NADO’s Annual Training Conference. Winners are often included in best practice sessions.
- In addition to the roundtable reception, awardees have ample opportunities to talk with peers about their award-winning projects and share best practices.
Community and organization recognition
- Winning an Impact Award gives awardees numerous opportunities to build their organization’s reputation within their communities, and among, regional stakeholders, funders, and potential clients. It also recognizes staff for dedication and hard work.
