As a board member, what would be your goals to improve Wyoming FNAWS?
What are your strengths you would bring to the chapter?
1. I served as the co-project development and project manager for the Upper Muddy Creek Watershed Project “Seeking Common Ground-Big Game and Livestock on Western Rangelands” project. This was a national demonstration project and the only “Seeking Common Ground” project in Wyoming. 2. In cooperation with many partners I have worked develop the largest constructed wetlands project in Wyoming and have since its inception in 1993 serve as the project manager. 3. I have help develop, coordinate, oversee, fund and administer the largest fisheries habitat restoration project on private lands in the State of Wyoming. 4. Most recently in 2007 I initiated the largest aspen habitat enhancement project in the State of Wyoming. The “Little Snake River Basin – Aspen Conservation Joint Venture” is targeting 12,000 acres of aspen treatments in the next five years. For 2008 I have generated $128,000 to fund the treatment of approximately 1,000 acres of aspen under this initiative. Funding sources include USFS, USFWS, RMEF, USDA-NRCS, Private landowners, WLCI, LSRCD, WGFD, BLM and Devon Energy Co. There may be additional contribution from BP Amaco and Anandarko Petroleum Corp. Sponsoring Wyoming FNAWS member: WY FNAWS Board Secretary Lynn Stewart This is a letter of recommendation for Larry Hicks of Baggs, Wyo. to run for the WY FNAWS board. Larry has extensive experience in the conservation field. He is an active member of several conservation and professional organizations and I feel his expertise would greatly serve the needs of our board. Sheep hunting has always been a passion and he has harvested sheep in Montana, Wyoming and Alaska. Respectfully yours, |

Name: Steve Kozisek City, State: Buffalo, Wyo. Have you previously served on a wildlife conservation group committee or board in the past? WY FNAWS, RMEF, Pheasants Forever and the NRA. How would you improve fundraising? Membership? Support having fundraisers every other year in Casper. Keep improving merchandise. As a board member, what would be your goals to improve Wyoming FNAWS? To improve our media exposure and use this to increase membership by sharing that what is good for wild sheep benefits all wildlife. What are the strengths you would bring to the Chapter? Fundraising Sponsoring Wyoming FNAWS member: WY FNAWS Board Member Jim Wetzel I am writing this letter to recommend Steve Kozisek for
another term on the WY FNAWS Board. As everyone knows Steve stepped into his
position and took over as chair for the WY FNAWS banquet and
fundraiser. That in itself says a lot about Steve and his work ethic; but
when you add in the quality of the job he is doing, it seems to me to be a
no-brainer to re-elect Steve to the board. |

Life memberships and education of fellow hunters of what WY FNAWS has accomplished already. The best organization going by far. One qualification of friends who draw a sheep tag should be to become a life member of WY FNAWS. Thanks to friends like (WY FNAWS life members) Dirk Edgeington and Ed Novotny. What are the strengths you would bring to the Chapter? An open mind and previous experience, a love for sheep and the world they live in. Sponsoring Wyoming FNAWS member: WY FNAWS Board Member Fritz Meyer I would like to give a letter of support for Greg Larsen. I have known Greg for many years , and I think he would make a great addition to the board. He has always been very honest, hard working, and involved in RMEF and other organizations in the Riverton area. He has helped out at the past 3 or 4 of our banquets and would like to get involved more. He has my full support. Fritz Meyer |
