Municipal Authority Community Engagement AwardCommunity_Engagement_Awards
Municipal Authorities are a success story that needs to be told. Each day, authorities implement innovative solutions to meet complex challenges, create opportunities for growth and enhancement, and provide services to meet the basic human needs of Pennsylvania residents.

The Municipal Authority Community Engagement Award is given out annually to PMAA member authorities who are going above and beyond to effectively communicate the value of their authority to the community while providing exceptional service. Formerly known as the Communications Award, PMAA has renamed and redeveloped the award criteria to further exemplify the habit of using good management practices, along with innovative approaches to challenges, to demonstrate a comprehensive approach to community engagement.
