Branch leaders from the Great Lakes Region and surrounding areas are invited to attend a Regional Leadership Workshop in Lansing, Michigan on May 4th and 5th. This will be a great opportunity to come together as branch leaders and focus on ways we can work together to accomplish our 5 year mission goals! 

It will be a fun event with an optional sporting clay shoot on Friday afternoon at the Capital Area Sportsmen’s club, followed by dinner and drinks at a local establishment. Saturday will consist of updates from members from the national office, an update on efforts in Michigan, grassroots fundraising and membership, hunting heritage programs available through QDMA, advocacy updates on CWD, APR’s and more, and panel discussions with branch leaders.

I truly believe an event like this can help take this region to the next level, and I hope you are all able to attend! - Josh Hillyard, Region 3 Director
