TREASURER’S MESSAGE

Treasurer’sMessage

Well, I didn’t actively pursue the office of treasurer, but I’m optimistic about taking on this new task. Claudia has done a fantastic job managing our funds. Having served on the board for the last few years, I truly appreciate the work that goes into keeping track of our finances.

I’ll do my best to head up the finance committee and I welcome members to participate in the committee and give input. I’m no investment banker, but recently retired from payroll for an over the road trucking company, and have done alright over the years keeping the lights on at home and maintaining a hunting and a quilting fund! I’m also the secretary of the Great Falls Chapter of Safari Club International. I look forward to working with both groups to share information and conservation opportunities as so many of our goals are the same. Please reach out if you have questions or an interest in participating in either group’s projects.

I was honored to be recognized as the Bowhunter of the Year at the convention. It means so much to be a part of this group of sportsmen and women; supporting each other and working to maintain our opportunities here in Montana. We need to remain diligent in fighting crossbows and building relationships with landowners for access and wildlife conservation. Thank you to all of you who have served as inspiration and mentors and good luck to you in the field.
