The Mid-Carolina Regional Council based in Fayetteville, NC has received three (3) 2024 Aliceann Wohlbruck Impact Award from the National Association of Development Organizations (NADO) for the following projects:
NADO is a Washington, DC-based membership association of regional development organizations that promotes programs and policies that strengthen local governments, communities, and economies through regional cooperation, program delivery, and comprehensive strategies. The Impact Awards program recognizes regional development organizations and their partners for improving the economic and community competitiveness of our nation’s regions and local communities.
Award-winning projects were recognized during NADO’s 2024 Annual Training Conference held in New Orleans, LA on Oct. 21 – 24. The 2024 class of award recipients consists of 98 projects from 64 organizations spanning 21 states.
These projects are presented in an interactive story map developed by NADO that includes project summaries, partners and images. The map is available online at nado.org/2024impactawards/
“NADO’s Impact Awards program offers an opportunity each year to celebrate the meaningful contributions our members make in the regions they serve,” said 2023-2024 NADO President Chris Brown in a press release. “This year’s awardees demonstrate the broad spectrum of services provided by regional development organizations. We thank our members for continuing to do this important work that helps build strong, vibrant, and resilient communities.”
The NADO Impact Awards are presented in honor of the late Aliceann Wohlbruck who served as NADO’s first executive director for 24 years as a tireless champion for regional approaches to economic development in rural communities.
