The city of Avondale was named Winner of the Voice of the People Award for Transformation in Recreation and Wellness, the National Research Center Inc. (NRC) and Polco announced this month.
This award is only given to top-performing jurisdictions that best listen and act for the benefit of their communities. Based on responses from the National Citizen Survey, now the National Community Survey, residents reported the highest levels of improvement for this category compared with all other participating jurisdictions.
The National Community Survey reports resident opinion and satisfaction with local government and services with a scientific, representative sample approach. Results are then used to inform budgeting, performance measurement and program planning.
