Application deadline is May 15. Download the full application packet here.

Your work across the public, private and nonprofit sectors to tackle the challenges facing society ? from quality of our lives, to the quality of our roads ? requires a regional approach, yet there is often little recognition of the work it takes to achieve real results. The ARS Regional Stewardship Awards are presented to regions that demonstrate progress in at least one of the four Principles of Regional Stewardship:

• Innovative Economy
• Livable Community
• Social Inclusion
• Collaborative Governance
