2021 RMS awards nominations due Jan. 30

The COVID Pandemic has presented new challenges for river managers, and you have risen to the challenge. Please recognize those who have made significant contributions to the art and science of river management and those who best exemplify the spirit and purpose of the organization. Since 1998 we have given annual RMS awards to deserving individuals. In 2000 the Frank Church Wild and Scenic Rivers Award was added by RMS' Interagency Wild and Scenic Rivers Coordinating Council partners.
