Regional Cooperation Award

In 1996, the North Central Texas Council of Governments established the Regional Cooperation Award to be presented each year at NCTCOG's Annual General Assembly. The award recognizes local governments that have demonstrated a commitment to the concept of regionalism through their cooperative programs and projects. Any local governments in the 16-county North Central Texas region are eligible for the award.

Upon his retirement in 2025, the award was renamed the
Mike Eastland Regional Cooperation Award.

Local government staff members, local elected officials, chamber of commerce officials, or interested citizens may nominate a local government to receive this award by completing the following form or submitting the downloadable form via email. Applicants will be judged on the following criteria.

Promotion of coordination and cooperation among jurisdictions on programs and projects which address common needs
