2020 All-America City Jury

The makeup of this year’s jury includes elected and appointed government officials, business and nonprofit leaders, as well as health, well-being and civic engagement professionals. Finalist communities will have 10 minutes to bring their applications to life and present the story of their work to this group of national civic experts, who will then have an opportunity to ask finalists questions about their applications and presentations for an additional ten minutes.

The jury will be looking for communities that have enhanced health and well-being through inclusive civic engagement. The judging criteria reflect the concept that good health for the entire community requires a focus on mental, physical, spiritual, cultural and economic well-being.
