The 2022 Community Industry Awards are the second annual celebration of the best in the community industry. These awards shine a well-deserved spotlight on the people and the communities who are making waves in this industry, making a difference, and building incredible spaces for their members.2021 was another challenging year for many of us, and the the CMX team is ready to celebrate our community. Every single nomination for this year's awards was incredibly impressive—the challenges, the resilience, the successes. You nominated over 400 people and companies for this year's awards season, proving that YOU are also ready to celebrate the incredible work being done in this industry.After all nominations were submitted and counted, we opened the vote up to the entire industry. We received over 20,000 votes! Thanks to everyone who participated and made their voices heard.Next, our panel of expert judges had a chance to read the nominations and cast their votes. We took into consideration the popular votes and, combined with the scores from our judges, determined the top 3 finalists in each category of the Community Industry Awards. I'm thrilled to share them with you (for full information about how winners are chosen, check our FAQs at the bottom of this page).Join us on Monday, Jan 24, 10:00 AM (PST) for the 2022 Community Industry Awards LIVE Ceremony!
