The Lifetime Achievement Award honors individuals who have contributed to AHS, to the education of professionals and/or the public, and to the science of hydrology within Arizona — and to individuals who have received national renown for their contributions in the field. You can nominate any AHS member or a nonmember (although you must be a current AHS member to make the nomination). The award consists of a personal recognition plaque, a traveling plaque listing all past recipients, and a $500 check to an Arizona educational organization of the recipient’s choice. The award is presented at the annual symposium. Fourteen individuals have received the award since its founding in 1995.
