2026 COMPASS Leadership in Motion Award Nomination Survey

Leadership in Motion awards recognize agencies, projects, businesses/nonprofits, and individuals that demonstrate leadership in supporting regional goals as described in regional long-range transportation plan, Communities in Motion 2050.

The awards shine a spotlight on what is working and facilitate the sharing of good ideas. This year’s awards will recognize efforts and projects that occurred between July 2025 and June 2026. Award recipients will be notified in late November and awards will be presented in December.

You may submit more than one nomination. You may nominate your own project, agency, or even yourself, though third party nominations are encouraged.

Anyone may submit a nomination and anything or anyone (other than COMPASS staff) is eligible to be nominated.

Nominations must be received by NOON Friday, September 25, 2026. If you have any questions about these awards or the nomination process, please contact Amy Luft at 208/475-2229 or aluft@compassidaho.org
