Citistates Founders Selected for Alliance for Regional Stewardship John Parr National Civic Leadership Award

July 10, 2009 - The Alliance for Regional Stewardship (ARS) announced today that Citistates Group founders Neal Peirce, Curtis Johnson, and Farley Peters have been named co-recipients of the John Parr Award, bestowed annually by the Alliance for Regional Stewardship for outstanding personal leadership excellence in advancing regionalism and civic stewardship of metropolitan areas.

The John Parr Award was established in 2008 to recognize individuals who have dedicated their work and personal time, as well as social/political capital into regional stewardship. The award commemorates the legacy of the late John Parr (1948--2007) 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.

The Award named in his honor is the only recognition that ARS bestows upon individuals. It will be formally presented at the ARS Annual Meeting and Regional Strategies Forum on July 29 in Raleigh, North Carolina.
