New Website Encourages Greater Participation as 2009 Nominations are Sought
“We could not be more proud of this new site that makes it easier to find information about the nomination process and IWHOF inductees,” notes Risa Shimoda, Board of Governors Chair. “It will be updated with announcements and event information more frequently than in the past, can be viewed in 42 languages and allows IWHOF to thank our sponsors more effectively.”

“We encourage nominations for this year’s induction until April 18,” notes Matt Urdan, IWHOF Program Manager. “These whitewater luminaries will be considered along with those nominated in past years (nominations remain in consideration for five years). Six new honorees will be elected by late May and inducted into the International Whitewater Hall of Fame (IWHoF) September 26th at the Nantahala Outdoor Center in Bryson City, NC, USA.” (continue reading…)
