Spirit of Scottsdale Awards
Know a Person or Business that Embodies Scottsdale Spirit?
Scottsdale’s Neighborhood Advisory Commission wants to showcase the people and organizations that embody the “Spirit of Scottsdale”. This award recognizes residents and organizations/businesses that help to strengthen and build Scottsdale’s community through their commitment to and involvement in neighborhoods. For 2020, it was especially important to highlight those that have gone above and beyond to uplift Scottsdale’s residents and neighborhoods during the global pandemic. Due to the unforeseen circumstances of COVID-19, the 2019 nominees were rolled into the current award cycle - award recipients were recognized at the March 2, 2021 City Council meeting.
