SEMCOG presents Regional Ambassador Awards annually. The Regional Ambassador Award is SEMCOG’s highest honor for individuals and organizations making Southeast Michigan a better place to live, work, and raise a family. SEMCOG has been recognizing and celebrating the outstanding leaders of Southeast Michigan since 1974. The Regional Ambassador Award is a symbol of the foresight, courage, and persistence that it takes to be a champion beyond your own community or organization. Regional Ambassadors seek to support and influence those working beyond their own sphere of authority in order to develop a shared investment in the success of Southeast Michigan.
