“These communities give us hope and new ideas about what can be accomplished when ordinary people work together to address the difficult challenges that lay ahead,” said National Civic League President Gloria Rubio-Cortés. “Year after year, I never fail to be inspired by their outstanding stories of positive civic change.”

More than 700 people from across the country gathered in Kansas City for the awards competition. More than 10,000 well-wishers back home watched them present to the jury of civic experts via live-stream video featured on the National Civic League blog.

“This is more than an awards program,” said NCL Board Chair Sandra Freedman, a former Tampa, Florida mayor and city council member. “It’s a learning experience and a chance for people from different towns and cities to trade ideas and borrow great programs from one another. “

The All-America City Award is an honor achieved by more than 600 communities across the country. Some have won the award multiple times. To win, each community had to make a presentation to a jury of civic experts from the public, private and nonprofit sectors listing three outstanding examples of collaborative community problem solving.
