In 2019, ICOG began its inaugural year of creating two distinguished awards for member Councils of Governments.

• ICOG Innovative Project Award

• ICOG Prometheus Award

Entering a project or individual for these awards will support the organization in increasing awareness of the programs member COGs are involved in and the impact of the work done in the public service, workforce development, economic development and transit related fields.

INNOVATIVE PROJECT AWARD

The Innovative Project Award will be given annually at the ICOG Staff Retreat and represents an innovative project that a COG is either currently finishing or has completed on behalf of a community, county or region.

A project submitted should include, but not limited, to these objectives:

• A project that, without the COG, would not have happened in the community.

• A project that clearly demonstrates how the COG worked to solve or provide a solution for a community or region.

• A project that highlights how the COG worked with community leaders, funders and/or stakeholders to complete the project.

PROMETHEUS AWARD

Bringing fire to the people. The Prometheus Award is designated to an individual or COG who encompassed a vision for a community and helped bring it to reality. While COGs many times help communities with ideas and funding, they are not always the one completing the final work and do not get the proper recognition. This award is dedicated to those who have made significant progress to their community and without their vision or dedication a project would not have happened.
