This year’s convention is hosted by our local affiliate, Friends of Black Bayou. It’s a great opportunity to learn about issues the Federation is working on and what we do. You’ll be able to meet members of our board of directors, staff, local Federation members, and volunteer leaders from around the state.
If you can’t join us on Saturday, consider dropping by for an informal Meet and Greet on Friday, August 16 at the hotel from 7pm to 10pm.
Saturday’s agenda includes a board meeting in the morning, followed by a luncheon . You are welcome to attend the General Assembly beginning at 2:00 PM on Saturday where delegates will debate resolutions that help us set the policy goals for LWF.

The luncheon speaker will be Dana Norsworthy, Biologist Supervisor with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, Office of Wildlife, Hunter Education, and the BOW coordinator. Dana will provide an overview of the popular Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) program, which introduces women, 18 and older, to the outdoors through hands-on outdoor educational activities. It focuses on providing opportunities for women to learn skills that enhance and encourage participation in hunting, fishing and other outdoor activities. She will share stories and observations about the impact this program is having on increased participation in outdoor recreation. The BOW program and Dana Norsworthy’s leadership received the Conservation Educator of the Year Award for 2015.
