Matt Brooks, president and founder of Brooks-Range Mountaineering Equipment, has been awarded the American Mountain Guides Association Presidential Gold Medal, the highest award of the AMGA. Brooks was given the award during the annual International Federation of Mountain Guides Associations (IFMGA) Conference that took place in Boulder, Colorado on November 16.
The Presidential Gold Medal recognizes individuals who have made an especially meritorious contribution to the mission and interests of the mountain guiding profession. Though the honor may be awarded for singular acts, it is generally granted for a lifetime of service and/or at the conclusion of a distinguished career.
In addition to the award, Brooks has also been appointed a member and chair of the Presidents Council of the AMGA, which is made up of the organization's past presidents.
