Where do
you see yourself in 2040? Do you think you’ll still be living in the Treasure
Valley? I do.
As I
look forward, I have confidence that the Treasure Valley will continue to be a
vibrant, wonderful place to live.
How do I
know that? I am privileged to know and work with many of our local leaders –
from elected officials to professionals to volunteers – on a daily basis. I
witness the dedication and hard work each puts forth as they do their part to
make our future brighter. I am also fortunate enough to see the results of
their labors. I get to watch as forward-thinking people move projects from ideas
to completion.
Each
December I have the opportunity to shine a spotlight on these amazing leaders
and projects as the COMPASS Board chair and I present the Leadership in Motion
awards.
But,
before we can do that, we need your help.
Think
about who, or what project or business, is making the Treasure Valley a better
place by implementing Communities in
Motion, the regional long-range transportation plan for Ada and Canyon
Counties, then nominate them for a Leadership in Motion award.
The process is simple and quick.
Are you
skeptical of how a transportation plan could lead to a brighter future? There
is a lot more to Communities in Motion
2040 than you might think. Transportation impacts all aspects of our lives,
from our health to our housing costs – issues that directly affect quality of
life. Communities in Motion examines
these connections and sets goals that address many of the issues that impact,
and are impacted by, transportation.
I
encourage you to look at who won last year
and to review the Communities
in Motion 2040 goals as you consider who, or what, to
nominate. Many types of projects and people are implementing Communities in Motion through their good
works even outside of the transportation profession. Anyone
may submit a nomination and anything or anyone (other than COMPASS staff) is
eligible to be nominated.
Nominations
for COMPASS Leadership in Motion awards can be submitted here
and will be accepted through 3:00 pm, Wednesday, September 30, 2015. Need some help? Click to watch a short video on how to submit a nomination.
Awards
will be presented at the COMPASS/Valley Regional Transit holiday luncheon on
Monday, December 21, 2015.
