ANNUAL WBNA AWARDS
Nominate a neighbor, local business, or organization you feel has made a contribution, both big and small, to our neighborhood.

And the Award Goes To
Each January at our Annual Meeting, WBNA gives awards to those who have gone above and beyond to help support and improve our neighborhood as well as to those who deserve recognition for smaller acts that contribute to making ours a caring and connected community. While not all awards are given every year, the following is a list of some of the awards that are offered.
