All-America City 2004Stockton Competes for All-America City AwardOn March 8, Stockton submitted an application for the 2004 All-America City Award, a program of the National Civic League. The All-America City Award encourages and recognizes civic excellence, honoring communities in which citizens, government, businesses, and non-profit organizations have collaboratively resolved critical community issues. Since 1949, more than 4,000 communities have competed and nearly 500 have been named “All-America Cities.” For a community to be named an All-America city, it must be able to demonstrate successful resolution of community issues through collaborative effort. Award winning criteria include the following: active citizen involvement, effective and efficient government performance, maximized local philanthropic and volunteer resources, a strong capacity for cooperation and consensus building, community vision and pride, intergroup relations, community information sharing, and intercommunity cooperation. “By focusing attention on successful problem-solving and community building efforts, the All-America City Award demonstrates to citizens that they can change their communities into better environments for families and children. The nation’s premiere civic recognition award helps reinvigorate a community’s sense of civic pride and inspires communities throughout the nation who are struggling with similar difficult local issues,” explains Christopher T. Gates, president of the National Civic League. To read Stockton’s application for the 2004 All-America City Award, click here. Adobe Acrobat Reader is require to view PDFs.
