Partners for Livable Communities has selected a class of distinguished honorees—individuals as well as organizations—to honor for civic stewardship and innovation. These prestigious awards will be presented by Washington, D.C.-based Partners for Livable Communities at its Celebration of Vision & Community Building awards program on November 9, 2015 at the Fairfax at Embassy Row Hotel in Washington, D.C.
For the last 40 years, Partners has honored individuals and organizations in recognition of innovative projects and records of achievement that have advanced the principles of livability. This year's honorees represent lifetimes of leadership in their respective fields spanning architecture, academia, civic leadership, real estate development, and arts and culture. Their innovative leadership has made their communities better places to live.
Partners hosts its annual awards ceremony because the efforts of the country's most inspiring civic leaders deserve to be lauded, and their stories and practices spread far and wide.
