Volunteer of the Year - Ivan Bartha!

"In reality, I have been lucky as a professional outdoor educator which is largely due to the people who have taken the time to help me be a better paddler and instructor. There is no way I can take any credit without thanking the IT's & ITE's who have taken me on as a student, assistant or co-instructor.” --Ivan Bartha 

Over the past year, Ivan Bartha has set the bar for what it means to volunteer on behalf of the ACA and paddlesports. It was an honor to present him with the prestigious Joe Pina Volunteer of the Year award at this year's ACA National Awards ceremony. 

Thank you, Ivan, for always going the extra mile for the ACA and paddlesports. And congratulations on your award!
