At the 2008 annual meeting in Salishan, a sign-up sheet was circulated for you to describe your areas of expertise so that Conservation Affairs Committee members could contact you during the year to obtain feedback and insights on specific topics. As we enter the next legislative session, the chapter will be developing position statements and commenting on a variety of bills and concepts. We'll be contacting you if your area of expertise aligns with a particular topic of importance. This is a great way for you to become more involved in the chapter and share your expertise, and we look forward to working with you. It's important to understand that as a participant on this committee, you will be providing information on behalf of the chapter that the chapter can use to inform position statements and influence policy decisions. Therefore, your name will not appear as the author of this information. Chapter officers wanted to clarify this in advance to prevent any misunderstandings in the future. Possible topics of interest will be predators, wolves, off-highway vehicles, invasive species, and water issues, to name a few.
