Honoring Those Who Have Made Significant Contributions
Founded in 1995, the Lifetime Achievement Award honors individuals who have contributed to our mission, to the education of professionals and/or the public, to the science of hydrology within Arizona, and who have received national renown for their contributions in the field. Any AHS member or a nonmember can be nominated.
The award consists of a personal recognition plaque, a traveling plaque listing all past recipients, a $500 check to an Arizona educational organization of the recipient’s choice, and a registration to our annual symposium.
Please take the time to recognize an outstanding individual in our profession that are role models for current and future generations of hydrologists.
