Through its awards program, Region 6 recognizes outstanding achievements
and showcases the successes of its NAI members who work to advance the
profession of interpretation. Region 6 Awards are presented at the annual
Region 6 Workshop. Each spring prior to that workshop, members can submit
nominations for the awards. We have seen and worked with many outstanding
and inspiring programs and professionals. Please nominate someone you
know and respect.
