Lifetime Achievement Awards

The Nevada Water Resource Association's Lifetime Achievement Award candidates must have contributed a significant portion of their career to Nevada's water resources. It would be preferred that the candidate is either a member of NWRA during their career, or participated in NWRA events, but it is not a requirement. The candidate can be retired from a water resources career, and can be working in another position/occupation after their retirement from a lifetime career in the field of water resources. This is not a posthumous award.
