North Port wins national award for Annual Report
Published on September 05, 2025
The City of North Port Communications Division has earned national recognition for its 2023-24 Annual Report.
The City received an Award of Excellence in the Annual Report category at the national 2025 Savvy Awards presentation, hosted by the City-County Communications & Marketing Association (3CMA) on Thursday at its annual conference in Las Vegas.
The Savvy Awards have represented the best in government communications for more than 30 years. Entries are judged by professional communicators from across the United States.
Last year's Annual Report, "Celebrating 65 Years," is a digital publication that comprehensively overviews the City's achievements and milestones across departments. The report provides a comprehensive narrative of both past successes and a forward-looking vision for North Port, which celebrated its 65th birthday on June 18, 2024. It can be viewed online at NorthPortFL.gov/AnnualReport.
This was North Port’s second Annual Report. The inaugural publication for fiscal year 2022-23 earned an Outstanding Award from the Florida Municipal Communicators Association (FMCA) as the top annual report in the state.
"We’re honored to receive this latest recognition for our Annual Report," said City Manager Jerome Fletcher. "This award reflects the exceptional talent and dedication of our Communications team and reinforces North Port’s growing national reputation as a leader in innovative, transparent public engagement."
