Last week, the Outdoor Industry Association (OIA) announced the first-annual Together We Are a Force Awards celebrating the collaborative spirit of the outdoor industry. The awards, which build on the OIA’s Together We Are a Force campaign, recognize individuals who have partnered across organization lines to spark innovation and progress through new processes, products, methods, systems, services, tools or other initiatives. Winners will be honored at the OIA Industry Breakfast on July 23 at the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market in Denver, take part in a custom Together We Are a Force photoshoot, and get free tickets to the Outsiders Ball, the market’s kickoff fundraiser. Nominations, which can be made on the OIA’s website, close May 14.
“OIA’s purpose is to be a convener and leader for the outdoor industry,” Amy Roberts, OIA executive director, said in a release. “Part of fulfilling that purpose is shining a light on the truly amazing work our members and partner organizations do. I encourage anyone who has a story of innovation or progress that was made possible through collaboration to submit a nomination.”
