The Sentinel Award

For a Significant Contribution to Good Government at the Local Level

This award, sponsored by the Montgomery Sentinel newspaper, is given annually by the Civic Federation to an individual or group, typically outside government, for a “significant contribution to good government at the local level.”

At our 2008 Annual Awards Banquet, the Civic Federation presented Bernard and Lynn Kapiloff, Publisher and Chief Executive Officer of the Montgomery Sentinel, with Honorary Membership in the MCCF “in appreciation for their support of the Federation and the civic community.”
