The Community Industry Awards was created in 2019 when the CMX team looked back on the year and was amazed at how many incredible achievements community professionals had made. We wanted to celebrate them, so we created this program that would do just that!
Since then, the Community Industry Awards have continued to grow and thrive each year. This is our fourth annual awards ceremony, where we celebrate the achievements of exceptional community professionals and teams, and recognize those who make a difference in their communities.
