Welcome to the Southwest Chapter of the River Management
Society!
The Southwest Chapter is comprised of river managers from the states
of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah. Our goal is to
further the RMS mission by providing a regional forum for Southwest members
to discuss river management issues and strategies through active participation
in chapter meetings and events usually in a fun, friendly, and scenic environment.
The Chapter Officers are working hard to represent the Southwestern States by promoting regional activities, representing the southwest in national discussions and supporting an active chapter membership. Chapter Bylaws provide direction for meetings and activities of the SW Chapter and Chapter accomplishments and Chapter activities will be posted. We hope these activities will interest you. If you work in a river management field and live in one of the SW states we invite you to Join Now!
Southwest Chapter Officers
Any professional member is eligible to run for office. Officers serve
a three (3) year term. Candidates should be informed regarding Chapter
Officer Roles and be willing to be an active participant. Contact any
