Migdalia is a great example of the MoorHeart spirit. Congratulations to Migdalia for her dedication to making Moorhead a more equitable and inclusive place for everyone.
The MoorHeart award is an opportunity to recognize individuals who go above and beyond to demonstrate community within our City by their actions and service. A team of volunteers from city boards and commissions selects award recipients. The MoorHeart award is commemorated with a piece of art commissioned from local artist Dennis Krull especially for this purpose.
Information on nominating individuals/organizations for the MoorHeart award can be found at www.moorheadmn.gov (search for MoorHeart Award). Contributions large and small are worthy of nomination!
