The International Hydropower Association (IHA) has been awarded a mark of excellence at the 2015 Association Excellence Awards in the category for best overall international association.

The inaugural awards took place in London on Friday 27 February, at a ceremony gathering around 300 representatives of a range of associations.

The awards distinguish individuals, teams and initiatives, recognising excellence in the way associations operate and serve their members. They emphasise best practice in running successful, responsible and sustainable associations, that also deliver high value to members.

IHA was also shortlisted in the categories for best website, and best training initiative for IHA Sustainability Partnerships.
