Mission and Objectives   -  IWA

 
Our Mission:

The purpose of the Idaho Whitewater Association, Inc. (hereafter, IWA) shall be to promote the appreciation, understanding, and safe recreational use of the whitewater river resources within the State of Idaho among its members and the general public, and to inform the members of issues affecting whitewater rivers and their use.

In essence, the IWA is for whitewater boaters, those with a passion and experience and those that want to learn about that passion. The board of the IWA is committed to notifying and educating our members and the general public on:

    River Access
    Whitewater Safety Skills
    Any issue affecting the public use of Idaho’s whitewater river resources

The IWA is committed to working with other river organizations and river agencies in a cooperative manner to enhance river recreational opportunities for non-motorized river users. As Idahoans, we are still amazed at the world class whitewater resources we have right in our back yard. We encourage all Idahoans and people from around the nation to join our non-profit organization. Please, take part in this effort to protect and promote the safe use of our whitewater resources.

The IWA website and newsletter are a direct result of our commitment to getting information to our members and the general public. Information and discussions about river management issues will be closely monitored by IWA and will be reported in the newsletter. The board encourages input from IWA members regarding river issues and our handling and dissemination of information concerning Whitewater Rivers in Idaho. Our Association is only as good as the input we receive from our general membership.
