2022 Granicus Digital Government Awards (Virtual) BANQUET

To celebrate the close of our 2022 awards season, we hosted a digital banquet honoring all the public servants who work tirelessly behind the scenes to increase awareness of programs, improve outdated processes, and inspire civic action. All public servants — and those who support them — are invited to attend.
