2014 Innovation Awards

Each year, NADO recognizes member organizations that demonstrate innovative approaches to regional economic and community development with an Innovation Award. More than 1,400 NADO member projects have been recognized since 1986 for their creative efforts in advancing economic development.  The breadth and scope of the winning projects is impressive and far reaching and illustrates the important role NADO members have across their regions, as well as on the national landscape.

Innovation winners have successfully leveraged their awards to bring additional resources to their regions.  They’ve also used the awards to better explain to their various audiences the important work they do.  And, NADO uses the award winning projects to share your collective work on Capitol Hill and with federal agencies, as well as to provide peer-to-peer training and information sharing among the membership.
