Association of Fish&Wildlife Agencies

The responsibility of the Time and Place Committee is to make recommendations to the Executive Committee on the time and place of annual meetings three years in advance. The committee should send out a solicitation to all member agencies to ascertain those wishing to extend an invitation. The invitations received should be evaluated by the committee with respect to geographic location, adequacy of facilities, and the frequency of meetings held in any particular region. Recommendations should be made to the Executive Committee at the annual meeting in September.

Awards

The principal responsibilities of the Awards Committee are to annually select the recipient of the Seth Gordon Award; to select an agency to receive the Ernest Thompson Seton Award, identifying the individual within that agency with lead responsibility for the team effort; to select the agency to receive the Boone and Crockett Club Award and recognize the individual most responsible for accomplishments that led to that award; and, upon the recommendation of the Law Enforcement Committee, to select a recipient for the Law Enforcement Award.
