WMCA Awards are a competitive process in which Administrators, City Managers, Mayors, staff members, or Municipal Clerk peers nominate a candidate who stands heads and shoulders above the rest. The nominations are reviewed and scored by WMCA’s Awards Committee (President, President-Elect, Vice President, and Immediate Past President) and the winners are ultimately selected by the WMCA President. The decision of the President is final.
