The 2007 Awards (to be given at the 2008 MGCA Annual Leadership Conference) are available for general distribution.

The MGCA Awards are designed specifically to assist councils in achieving the highest level of excellence possible in their programming and council management. The awards outline the actions and policies of an ideal council. As such, if councils utilize the MGCA Awards for goal setting and as a guide for action and visionary accomplishment, they will be well on the road to achieving excellence.

The process of preparing an award application in and of itself will assist the council in evaluating its programs and services. The submission of an application gives the council an opportunity to have its programs evaluated by outside experts who will provide written and verbal feedback.
