mySidewalk is thrilled to announce that we have been awarded the #2 spot in ELGL’s 2019 Haverford Awards. As they describe it, the Haverford Award “celebrates the top companies that work with local government.”

Simply put, it’s an opportunity to recognize the organizations that are helping cities make a real difference. This award was established to highlight the partnerships between the private and public sectors. It demonstrates how local governments can partner with the right innovators to drive progress.


ELGL said it well, “When local government companies are well run, responsive, and in tune with the opportunities and challenges in towns, cities, counties, and districts, their work makes local government stronger.”

The award is especially significant because it’s driven by customer nominations. Unlike other award programs, you don’t pay to be considered. Instead, customers decide who is best, and that’s why this award means so much to the Sidewalk team. To see how our customers described us was profound and encouraging.

“They are phenomenal and they are making our community better. I am proud to be working with mySidewalk which is helping keep my firefighters safe, citizens safe, and visitors safe as they enjoy the capital city of the State of CT.”

[Three words to describe mySidewalk] “Innovative, helpful, and creative.” 

“We’re currently developing a new dashboard for a relatively complex data set.  They’ve really gotten in the trenches with us in evaluating the data and finding the best way to present it. We encountered a lot of surprises along the way, but they’ve demonstrated a lot of commitment to make this work for us.”

“Initially, I did not have a grand vision for our data dashboard, but the folks at mySidewalk have a lot of resources that help local governments find and tell stories about their communities.”

Thank you to all the customers who nominated us, you are why we are excited to come to work. See Haverford award details here.
