ARS John Parr Award
John Parr Award for Individual Regional Leadership
The John Parr Award was established in 2008 to recognize individuals who have dedicated their professional lives and personal time, as well as social and political capital, to regional stewardship. The award commemorates the legacy of the late John Parr, former chief executive of the National Civic League and the Alliance for Regional Stewardship, and one of America's foremost counselors in the area of collaborative government, public/private partnerships, and regional governance. It is the only individual honor bestowed by ARS.
