NE Broadway Business Association wins Spirit of Portland Award

The Sullivan's Gulch Neighborhood Association offers its congratulations to the all the members of the NE Broadway for earning Commissioner Amanda Fritz's Business Association of the Year award.  We appreciate being your neighbors!

As Amanda Fritz said, "The Spirit of Portland awards are Portland's Oscars. They are a tribute to the many amazing community and neighborhood leaders who contribute to our thriving civic life in Portland." 

 

How awardees were chosen

Awards are chosen from nominations submitted by Portlanders, by a selection committee of representatives from the Neighborhood District/Coalition offices, Business Associations, non-profit community organizations, the Mayor's and City Commissioners' offices, the Office of Neighborhood Involvement, and past award winners. In addition, the Mayor and each City Commissioner recognize individual and organizational leaders.

 

Award recipients were chosen based on meeting the following criteria:

1. Assisting in the implementation of outstanding projects,
2. Enriching and revitalizing our community and neighborhoods,
3. Providing the community with a special service,
4. Demonstrating responsiveness, creativity and civic values,
5. Raising cross-cultural awareness, and,
6. Acting as good steward of the environment.
