The 31st annual William T. Newman, Jr. Spirit of Community Award recognizes individuals who have demonstrated a tireless and unselfish commitment to improving the quality of life in Arlington. Award recipients exemplify above-and-beyond servant leadership and have made extraordinary and visionary contributions to the Arlington community. Multiple honorees may be recognized each year. Watch last year's honoree videos and read about honorees from years prior before submitting your own nomination(s) if you need a little inspiration.


This year's honoree(s) will be recognized at the Spirit of Community Awards and Luncheon on Friday, November 15 at Renaissance Arlington Capital View Hotel: the annual event bringing together hundreds of business, civic, and philanthropic leaders, as well as Arlingtonians from all walks of life, for a celebration of community and the individuals who have made Arlington a better home for all of us. Registration for the event will open during the summer.


Submit your nomination(s) here or at the button below, and reply to this e-mail if you have any questions. We can't wait to celebrate with you this November!
