SUBJECT: City- County Communications & Marketing Association (3CMA) Savvy Awards
The purpose of this Letter to Commission is to inform you that Miami Beach's "Blue Skies,
White Sands, Green City: Sustainability Plan" was awarded a Silver Circle Award in this
year's 3CMA (City- County Communications and Marketing Association) Savvy Awards
competition in the "Go Green" Communications Efforts category.
Winning entries had to show that they were not only successful but also effective. This is
what judges said of our award - winning entry:
"The judging team is green with envy and will soon be packing our bags for a trip to Miami
Beach. The application was well written and very readable. This extensive plan hit on all
cylinders with solid documentation to back every step of the group's work. The tagline was
creative and invokes a great image for the residents of Miami Beach who are obviously
passionate about their surroundings."
The Savvy Awards competition recognizes outstanding local government achievements in
communications, public- sector marketing and citizen - government relationships. The Savvies
salute skilled and effective city, county, or agency professionals who have creatively planned
and carried out successful innovations in communications and marketing.
Please join me in congratulating the professional staff who diligently work on producing and
marketing these outstanding programs.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please feel free to contact me.
