River Rally

River Network is accepting River Hero nominations for River Rally 2021! Nominate a River Hero by October 30.

Hosted annually by River Network, River Rally provides an inspiring and energy-infused touchpoint for nonprofit groups from across the U.S. and beyond, as well as for agency and foundation representatives, industry innovators, philanthropists, academics, students, and community leaders. We bring thought leaders and practitioners together to accelerate progress towards an equitable and sustainable water future. Do you have practical knowledge and experience related to one of this year’s River Rally themes? Could your knowledge help someone working on similar challenges in another setting, geography, or organization? If so, we need you.

In 2020, we went virtual! The three-week program ran from May 18 – June 5 and included over 100 hours of content across six themes. We are grateful to the 500+ registrants, presenters, sponsors, and other partners for their flexibility, patience, and willingness to jump into this with us. To learn more about the virtual experience, check out the June issue of River Voices and watch the video below.

COVID-19 Update: River Rally 2021 will go virtual for the second time! While we still sincerely hope that we can provide some aspects of in-person programming in San Antonio in May, we are planning River Rally 2021 as a virtual experience. We ask those who plan to submit a workshop proposal to consider how their workshop might be adapted to fit a virtual format.

““At this time, it is so difficult to feel connected to your colleagues and to your community. [River Rally] offered opportunities not just to learn, but to connect with people, acknowledge the crises impacting our society, and think through ways to incorporate these needs into our work.”
