Mayors Leadership Award

In 1993, the Board of Directors of the Oregon Mayors Association (OMA) created the Mayor’s Leadership Award which is presented each year at the OMA Summer Conference.  The award recognizes the valuable contributions made by mayors throughout Oregon in their communities. 

The Selection Committee looks for nominations of mayors who have demonstrated exceptional leadership qualities which have contributed to lasting benefits in his/her city and the community as a whole.  Special consideration is given to mayors who have:

-  shown considerable involvement in community affairs and intergovernmental relations;

-  shown exceptional skill in helping to facilitate productive relationships between the governing body and city employees; and

-  helped other Oregon mayors reach their full potential as community leaders.

Nominations for 2023 are closed.
