Each year Greater Houston Neighborhood Associations (GHNA) honors neighborhood associations and their volunteers for the exemplary work they do. The Board will present the following awards at our Annual Dinner Meeting and Election in October.
Send us your nominations!
Neighborhood Improvement Award: If your association undertook a project or an idea that made your neighborhood better, please apply for this special award. Describe any project or idea your association successfully implemented that you believe demonstrates resourcefulness, creativity, innovation, or just a good approach to solving a tough problem.
Barbara Bain Distinguished Volunteer Award. The late Barbara Bain, community activist and GHNA Board member, left us a legacy of volunteer service and dedication. In her memory, GHNA recognizes an individual who is committed to service and has made a significant contribution to the community. Please allow us to recognize the person you believe has made a difference in your neighborhood by submitting your nomination.
Community Builder Award. A neighborhood is not just a collection of houses. It is a group of people living near each other who are moved with community spirit and friendliness and who come together on projects and activities. This award is presented to an individual who best personifies “community – an interacting population of various kinds of individuals.” It’s for the organizer in your neighborhood (or someone else’s neighborhood) who gets things going and keeps spirits high.
Neighborhood Newsletter Award. Good neighborhood communications are more important than ever before. If you are especially proud of the newsletter your association produces, be sure to submit it for award recognition at the Round-Up. Just send us a sample copy (or as many different issues you’d like) along with a one-page description of how you produce the newsletter (for example, how you deliver it, how you finance it, how you find articles, etc.) Don’t forget to include your full contact information, full mailing address, day and night telephone numbers and email address if available.
