THANKS TO OUR EFFORTS, BILLIONS OF FEDERAL DOLLARS NOW AVAILABLE TO SUPPORT UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING PROJECTS. NOTABLY, WE WORKED WITH CONGRESS TO SECURE AN AMENDMENT TO THE STAFFORD ACT ALLOWING FEMA DISASTER RELIEF FUNDS TO BE PUT TOWARDS UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING, IMPROVING THE RESILIENCY OF OUR POWER GRID AND CREATING MORE SCENIC COMMUNITIES. THE LEGISLATION ALSO INCLUDES SUPPORT FOR PROGRAMS IN THE GATEWAY COMMUNITIES THAT WELCOME VISITORS TO OUR NATIONAL PARKS AND PUBLIC LANDS. WE HAVE ALSO CONTINUED TO FIGHT THE BILLBOARD AND OUTDOOR ADVERTISING INDUSTRIES IN THE U.S., SECURING VICTORIES IN THE SUPREME COURT IN COLLABORATION WITH OUR PARTNERS IN TEXAS AND OTHER LIKE-MINDED ORGANIZATIONS. THE COURT'S 6-3 DECISION IN THE LANDMARK CASE, CITY OF AUSTIN V. REAGAN NATIONAL ADVERTISING, FENDS OFF ANOTHER ATTACK ON THE HIGHWAY BEAUTIFICATION ACT BY AFFIRMING THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THE BILLBOARD RESTRICTIONS THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. BEYOND OUR WORK ON THE NATIONAL LEVEL, WE ALSO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN THEIR FIGHTS AGAINST BILLBOARD BLIGHT. WE HAVE HELPED OUR CHAPTERS AND AFFILIATES IN LOS ANGELES, SAN DIEGO, TENNESSEE, AND OTHER LOCATIONS PREVENT THE PROLIFERATION OF BILLBOARDS AND OTHER FORMS OF VISUAL POLLUTION IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. TO SHARE OUR MISSION WITH FUTURE GENERATIONS, WE HAVE ALSO CULTIVATED NEW EDUCATIONAL PLATFORMS AND OUTREACH EFFORTS. OUR EDUCATION CURRICULUM INCLUDES AN INTERACTIVE APP-BASED GAME BUILT ON THE AGENTS OF DISCOVERY PLATFORM, WHICH TEACHES YOUNG PEOPLE ABOUT SCENIC CONSERVATION THROUGH HANDS-ON "MISSIONS" THAT CAN BE PLAYED ON-SITE IN WASHINGTON, DC AND REMOTELY AROUND THE COUNTRY. WE ALSO CONTINUE TO GROW AND UPDATE OUR COMMUNICATIONS PLATFORMS, MAINLY THE LAUNCH OF AN UPDATED VISUAL BRAND IDENTITY AND NEW WEBSITE, WHICH WILL HELP PROPEL THE ORGANIZATION FORWARD WITH AN UPDATED LOOK AND ROBUST DIGITAL PRESENCE. IN RECOGNITION OF OUR WORK, SCENIC AMERICA HAS EARNED PRESTIGIOUS AWARDS FROM THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF ASSOCIATION EXECUTIVES (ASAE) IN RECENT YEARS. WE RECEIVED ASAE'S POWER OF A GOLD AWARD FOR OUR ADVOCACY SUCCESSES IN REVIVING THE NATIONAL SCENIC BYWAYS PROGRAM AND SECURING ITS FIRST DEDICATED FUNDING IN TEN YEARS. WE ALSO EARNED ASAE'S GOLD CIRCLE AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS FOR OUR HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN IN SUPPORT OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF NEW ALL-AMERICAN ROADS AND NATIONAL SCENIC BYWAYS.
