Metropolitan Pima Alliance is seeking applicants for our seventh annual Common Ground Awards ceremony. MPA's Common Ground Awards recognizes community leaders, projects and events with successful collaboration for the overall benefit of the community.
This event places special emphasis on collaboration that is atypical and falls outside of the normal day-to-day processes. Whether it is land development, economic development or community development, it is pertinent for all parties to find common ground winners. The winners are bestowed their Common Ground Award at this annual banquet ceremony attended by hundreds. Anyone can nominate a project, and anyone can be nominated.
