New website at the North American Lake Management Society

The North American Lake Management Society (NALMS) has announced the launch of their brand new website www.nalms.org, a site devoted to the Society’s mission of forging partnerships among citizens, scientists, and professionals to foster the management and protection of lakes and reservoirs for today and tomorrow.

This new site is the result of the hard work of the NALMS website team and the e-business consulting firm Acumium. With www.nalms.org, their goal is to provide all of the site visitors an easy to navigate, content rich experience. Their aim is to continue to deliver high quality information and updates on the latest lake management activities of NALMS and our members.

For NALMS members, the aim is to deliver more intuitive access to their growing membership benefits. All NALMS members now enjoy access to a personal profile, electronic issues of LakeLine, and a new Membership directory. For Professional, Student and Organization members they also continue to offer access to electronic issues of Lake and Reservoir Management. And with www.nalms.org, they anticipate having the flexibility to offer more membership benefits in the future – so check back often!
