Robert Moore Award Nominations

The Robert Moore Award was created by the West Linn City Council in 2013 to recognize individuals who contribute to the quality of life in our community without reward or recognition.

Named after the founder of West Linn, Robert Moore, the award commemorates Moore’s selfless decision to name the town he founded after his friend and mentor, Dr. Lewis Linn.  Because of people like Robert Moore and the recipients of the Robert Moore Award, West Linn is the wonderful community it is today.

Nominate Someone for a Moore Award
