Awards for Regional Thinking & Action

Addressing the challenges and opportunities that face our ten-county region requires extraordinary commitment to leadership and collaboration. The role of personal and professional leadership towards advancing the concepts of regionalism, quality growth, and sustainable development is critical to the process, yet that leadership often goes unrecognized.

Cumberland Region Tomorrow, a regional collaborative partnership for the ten-county region, works to recognize and reward successful examples of Quality Growth across the region.  Through the annual Awards for Regional Thinking and Action, our region recognizes key private and public sector leaders that have made significant contributions in creating a more economical competitive, livable, and sustainable Middle Tennessee.
