Virtual Annual Meeting 

Where:

The Bay Center

Join us every June as we celebrate the past year’s accomplishments!

Our Annual Meeting is an opportunity for all Save The Bay members to gather and recount the accomplishments of the past year. It also serves as the perfect opportunity to recognize local environmental heroes for their individual accomplishments as we present our annual Environmental Awards.

The Environmental Awards, presented in six categories, recognize those making exceptional strides toward the betterment of Narragansett Bay and its watershed. Supported by public nomination, the awardees are devoted to their local, state, and environmental communities.

In 2020, while we were unable to welcome members to an in-person Annual Meeting, we were pleased to welcome them to a remote Annual Meeting! Catch our pre-recorded video, below, to hear presentations from staff and board!
