5/19/2026

 
In the Bag Promotions, a Boise-based promotional marketing agency serving clients since 2011, is pleased to announce that we have joined Sky High Marketing. This partnership expands our resources and capabilities for clients while keeping our local team in place in Idaho. As part of this transition, founders Dan and Lori Reading are retiring from day-to-day operations and will remain through July 2026 to support a smooth transition for clients and team members.

“We’re excited to welcome In the Bag Promotions into Sky High Marketing and to further invest in the Boise market,” said Josh Kozinski, CEO of Sky High Marketing. “Dan and Lori have built an exceptional business and reputation over the last decade-plus. We’re committed to a seamless transition, continued service for In the Bag clients, and new opportunities for the Idaho team.”

“By combining our teams, we can focus on scalable systems, expanded sourcing, and additional in-house capabilities to clients—without losing the responsiveness and creativity In the Bag is known for,” said Benj Lawrence, Chief Operating Officer of Sky High Marketing.

Through Sky High Marketing, In the Bag clients will have access to expanded services and warehousing capabilities. These additions enhance our ability to continue to deliver high-end integrated brand campaigns.

“It has been such an honor to serve this community” said Dan and Lori Reading, founders of In the Bag Promotions. “We’re proud to see the company enter its next chapter with a partner who shares our values and commitment to service. As we retire, we’re confident Sky High will take great care of the clients and team we’ve worked so hard to support.”

Boise Firm McMillen Receives National Award for Work on the Largest Dam Removal Project in History

5/13/2026

 
Picture
Boise, ID—McMillen, a Boise-headquartered environmental, engineering and construction firm, has been awarded the Grand Conceptor Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) for its role in the Klamath River Renewal Project, the largest dam removal and river restoration effort in history. The project was honored at ACEC’s 59th Annual Engineering Excellence Awards Gala, a nationally juried competition recognizing exceptional engineering achievement.

The national honor recognizes McMillen’s leadership as Owner’s Representative and 
Construction Manager, highlighting the firm’s ability to deliver highly complex, 
multi-stakeholder infrastructure projects that span multiple states, regulatory jurisdictions, and 
technical disciplines. In this role, McMillen helped guide coordination among six Tribal nations, 
more than 21 agencies, and dozens of public, private, and nonprofit partners.

Led by the Hoopa, Karuk, Yurok, Shasta, Klamath, and Modoc Tribes, the Klamath River 
Renewal Project reopened more than 400 miles of historic habitat, restored natural river function, 
and reconnected a river system that had been blocked for over a century. Within months of final 
dam removal, salmon and lamprey returned to upstream reaches not accessed for generations, 
signaling rapid ecological recovery and long‑term benefits for Tribal Nations and communities 
across Oregon and California.

The ACEC Grand Conceptor Award reflects national recognition of both the project’s 
transformative impact and McMillen’s collaborative, people-centered approach to engineering 
and construction. McMillen is honored to have supported a Tribal-led vision that is reconnecting 
communities, restoring ecosystems and setting a new standard for large-scale river restoration.
McMillen is a full-service engineering, environmental, and construction firm shaping the future 
of water resources. The firm serves the dam, energy, fisheries, natural resources, and 
infrastructure markets across North America, Europe, and beyond. Its work spans every project 
phase, from feasibility and permitting through design, construction, and commissioning, with a 
focus on technical precision and real-world performance.
