Rick served as National President in 1995-1996, won the Distinguished Service Award in 1997, and was our Executive Director and editor of Water News for decades. After his retirement, he continued to support CWRA as an active volunteer and mentor in our National Mentoring Program through Fall 2025. Rick was a friend and mentor to many of us, and he will be greatly missed. We are putting together a memorial article in the Fall edition of Water News. If you have pictures or memories of Rick to share, please email us by the end of August to have them included.
Rick Ross, membre de longue date de l’ACRH, nous a quittés en juin. Rick a occupé le poste de président national en 1995-1996, a reçu le Prix du service distingué en 1997 et a été directeur général ainsi que rédacteur en chef de Water News pendant plusieurs décennies. Après sa retraite, il a continué à soutenir l’ACRH à titre de bénévole actif et de mentor dans notre Programme national de mentorat jusqu’à l’automne 2025. Rick était un ami et un mentor pour plusieurs d’entre nous, et son absence se fera grandement sentir.
