The awards were recommended by <br />the 1989-90 Future Committee as a way to <br />honor good ideas and share them with other <br />counties- The Outstanding County Program <br />Awards honor counties and groups of <br />counties, not individuals, for their support of <br />excellence. <br />Previous winners <br />Click on a link below for recaps of <br />each winning program by year. <br />Page I of 2 <br />2006 <br />1998 <br />2005 <br />1997 <br />2004 <br />1996 <br />2003 <br />1995 <br />2002 <br />1994 <br />2001 <br />1993 <br />The intent of the Outstanding County 2000 1992 <br />Program Awards is to recognize and share 1999 1991 <br />information with other counties about <br />programs that involve a uniquely innovative <br />process, solution or idea to address a county or multi-jurisdictional issue and/or to <br />prevent a future problem from developing- Entries involving multi-jurisdictional <br />collaboration are strongly encouraged to apply. Programs submitted for Ketner <br />Productivity Awards also may be submitted for this program but the focus is more <br />directly on innovation and multi-county collaboration and, while productivity is <br />encouraged, it is not the major factor in determining winners. The team of judges will <br />select three winning programs in each of three categories: General Government, <br />Human Services and Public Information/Participation. <br />County or multi-county recipients of the Outstanding County Program Awards will <br />receive a beautiful, framed certificate. The winning programs will be featured in an <br />issue of CountyLines. The certificate presentations will be made at the winning <br />counties' board meetings prior to or during National County Government Week, April <br />6-12,2008. <br />The application deadline for the 2007 Outstanding County Program Awards <br />competition ended Feb. 1. Thank you to counties that submitted entries. Winners will <br />be notified after judges' committees meet in March. <br />Categories <br />Three winners will be picked in each of three categories <br />General Government - includes programs related to environmental protection, <br />economic development, libraries, arts, parks and recreation, human/race relations, <br />and general county administrative services. <br />Human Services - includes programs related to social services, health, mental <br />health and other programs to aid the elderly, disabled, low-income, youth, etc. <br />Public Information/Participation - includes any program that informs and/or seeks <br />to involve citizens related to county programs or services.
