Honorary Lifetime Members

Honoring a Legacy of Service and Dedication

Honorary Lifetime Members are individuals who have shown exceptional dedication to Colorado’s outfitting profession, outdoor traditions, and the values of the Colorado Outfitters Association. This distinction recognizes notable service, leadership, and stewardship that has strengthened our statewide community. Honorary Life Membership is granted through a member nomination, seconded by another, and approved by a three-fourths vote. We proudly recognize these individuals whose lasting contributions continue to inspire outfitters, guides, and sportsmen across Colorado.
