Leadership in Motion


Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality. - Warren Bennis

How do we translate vision into reality? How do we, as a region, take a long-range transportation plan and translate it into tangible projects, programs, and policies that benefit Treasure Valley residents?

While that question may sound rhetorical, it isn’t. There are people taking the lead every day on projects that implement the long-range transportation plan, Communities in Motion 2040 2.0, and improve the lives of everyone who lives or visits here.

Every year, COMPASS honors those people, businesses/nonprofits, and projects that have demonstrated leadership in implementing Communities in Motion 2040 2.0 through our Leadership in Motion awards.

Review the nomination criteria, consider who is leading the charge in your community, then take a moment to nominate him or her, or a project, business, or nonprofit for a Leadership in Motion award. It’s quick and easy – we never want the awards process to deter someone from submitting a nomination or prevent a worthy leader from being recognized.

Unsure who or what might be award-worthy? Check out last year’s winners for inspiration and ideas. At the same time, I encourage you to think outside the box and not limit yourself to traditional “transportation” projects. Implementing a transportation plan can take many forms.

This year’s awards will recognize efforts and projects that occurred between July 2018 and June 2019. Nominations will be accepted through 12:00 noon, Monday, September 23, 2019. Leadership in Motion awards will be presented on Monday, December 16, 2019, at the COMPASS/Valley Regional Transit Board Holiday Luncheon.
