Chandler neighborhood watch groups who hosted a community G.A.I.N. (Getting Arizona Involved in Neighborhoods) event last year are encouraged to submit a nomination for the Mayor’s Neighborhood Excellence Awards, according to a news release from the city of Chandler. Nominations are open through Sunday, Aug. 21 and available for completion online at chandleraz.gov/MNEA.

The awards recognize neighborhoods for their dedication to creating community through events, increasing neighborhood involvement and developing the next generation of leadership. Prizes for the winners will be applied towards this fall’s G.A.I.N. events, according to the city. 

There are two categories available: Mayor’s Choice Award and the People’s Choice Award. Nominations will be evaluated and the top finalists in each category will be selected by the Chandler Police Crime Prevention Unit and Neighborhood Programs staff.  Mayor Kevin Hartke will personally select a neighborhood watch group for the Mayor’s Choice Award category, according to the city

Online voting for the People’s Choice Award will start at 8 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 23, and will continue through 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9, at chandleraz.gov/MNEA. The winners will be announced during the G.A.I.N. kickoff event on Saturday, Sept. 17, which will be held at the Chandler Police Main Station community room from 9-11 a.m.
