FREDERICKSBURG, VIRGINIA • JULY 23–26, 2013

IZAAK WALTON LEAGUENATIONAL CONVENTION

91st ANNUAL

CONSERVATION FOR TOMORROWVirginia is for lovers, outdoor enthusiasts and Ikes.

One of the original thirteen colonies, Virginia has the oldest legislature in the Western Hemisphere. Birthplace of eight U.S. Presidents, the Commonwealth of Virginia maintains and protects 123 Civil War battlefields and is known for growing peanuts, tobacco and grapes that produce some of the finest wines in the United States.

The first IWLA chapter in Virginia was chartered in 1924 in Richmond. These days, Virginia has 17 chapters including the Arlington-Fairfax Chapter (chartered in 1936), the largest chapter in the League. The oldest chapter in Virginia is currently the Roanoke Valley Chapter (1926).

Virginia is home to the Shenandoah National Park – with its famous Skyline Drive – and two National

Forests with a combined total of nearly 2 million acres of Federal public lands. Over a thousand miles of trails, including the longest stretch of the Appalachian Trail, make “happy campers” out of all hikers and cyclists. For angling and boating, there’s thousands of more miles of rivers that flow through the Old Dominion that include the James, Roanoke, Shenandoah, York, Rappahannock and Potomac. Statewide there’s abundant huntable waterfowl and wildlife populations such as white-tailed deer, black bear and wild turkey for sportsmen and women. Let not forget the pristine beaches, the Chesapeake Bay with its Eastern Shore and the Dismal Swamp for want-to-be watermen. Truly Virginia is for outdoor lovers!

CONVENTION KIT 2013WORKSHOPS

On the Web at www.iwla.org/convention6 IWLA 2013 Convention Kit

Each delegate is entitled to one vote. However, if the number of chapter delegates at any session is less than the number of delegates to which the chapter is entitled, the chapter delegation may collectively cast the same number of votes as the number of delegates to which that chapter is entitled.

Each chapter is entitled to name one alternate for each delegate. However, an accredited alternate may vote only in the absence of the original delegate. (For more specific information about the voting rights of delegates and alternates, see Ar-ticle 7, Section 7.5 of the IWLA Bylaws in the back of your national directory.)

Major actions of delegates include voting on adoption of convention rules; approving minutes from last year’s conven-tion; electing national officers, regional governors and directors at large; voting on policy resolutions; and voting on the 2016 national convention site.

Board of DirectorsThe Board of Directors is composed

of the national president, vice president, treasurer and secretary, in addition to re-gional governors, past national presidents, national directors and directors at large. The directors will hold a short meeting during the convention.

Major actions of the Board include ap-proving minutes of the midwinter meeting, voting on proposed bylaws amendments and electing Executive Board members.

All IWLA Members All members of the League are also

members of the IWLA Endowment Inc., a separate corporation that receives earmarked and general contributions for financing conservation projects. The En-dowment Board will hold a meeting during the convention, and a slate of candidates for election to the Board will be presented. Any Ike at the convention may vote for the candidates.

Not sure if social media is the right tool to help your chapter to raise its visibility and connect with people in your communi-ty? We’ll cover the basics of how (and why) to use these tools to reach the right audi-ences, including youth and young families, plus tips to make using social media simple and effective.

Grants 101: A Beginners Introduction to Grant Writing – Mary Rubin, Earl Hower and Scott Kovarovics

Does your chapter have conservation projects you are eager to make happen but the treasury is short on the needed funds?

Did you know money might be available in your own backyard just waiting for you to ask? If your chapter has never tried to obtain grant funds because you are intimi-dated by the process and just don’t know how to get started, come to our introduc-tory session on the basics and leave feeling empowered to make your first ask and get that project off the ground!

Simple Steps for Energy Efficiency in Your House, Chapter, and Community – Bill Droessler

From Minnesota to Florida, whether you think it’s too cold, too hot or just right, there are simple ways to decrease or more effectively manage your energy use. We will review simple steps to increase energy efficiency in your house and chapter – reducing energy usage and saving you mon-ey.

Delegates are the IWLA chapters’ offi-cial representatives at the national conven-tion, and they play a key role in determin-ing the League’s direction for the coming year. In addition to electing national officers, delegates serve on committees and vote on conservation policy resolutions.

Chapters may elect or appoint their del-egates. The number of delegates allotted to each chapter is determined by the chapter’s size. (Allotments are listed on pages 9-10.) Allotments are based on membership fig-ures from the end of the previous year.

After a chapter has named its delegates, the delegate accreditation form on page 11 must be completed by a chapter official and submitted to the national office by June 15. Delegates also must present a signed accredi-tation form at the convention’s registration table to receive delegate credentials.

Your Voice in League Policy The convention provides all members

and chapters an opportunity to participate in IWLA conservation policy-making through national resolutions. Proposed national resolutions should be sent to the national office as soon as possible. No reso-lutions will be accepted after July 1, 2013.

Every year, Ikes, chapters and divisions draft resolutions outlining recommendations

to local, state and federal agencies and oth-ers about various natural resource issues. Each resolution submitted is considered by an appropriate resource committee composed of members appointed by the League’s national president. The resource committees are the following:

•Fish and Wildlife •Public Lands •Sustainable Resources •Agricultural Affairs •Energy and Environment •Water Resources •Outdoor Ethics•Environmental Education

A separate resolutions committee — consisting of the chairs of each resource committee — makes final recommendations on resolutions before they are presented to convention delegates for a vote. Jeff DeChamps of Maryland is chairman of the Resolutions Committee. Resolutions that are formally adopted become official League policy and guide the position statements of League staff and officers.

All resolution submissions should do the following:

•State that the proposal is intended for consideration at the national convention.

•Be written in simple essay form (not in the “whereas style”).

•Include background articles, fact sheets, studies or other information with the proposal to give the committee a better un-derstanding of the issue and its importance.

•Identify and credit the author of the resolution.

•Identify someone familiar with the resolution and its history who will be prepared to speak to the committee at the convention.

Send your resolutions, with a cover letter indicating they are to be considered for adoption as national policy, to IWLA Convention Staff, Attn.: Resolutions, 707 Conservation Lane, Gaithersburg, MD 20878-2983.

Bylaw ChangesProposed amendments to the IWLA

bylaws must be submitted by June 20 to receive consideration at the convention. Timothy W. Reid, chairman of the Gov-ernance and Bylaws Committee, requests that a proposed amendment have the back-ing of a chapter or division if originated by a chapter member. Please send proposed bylaw amendments to IWLA Bylaws Com-mittee, Timothy W. Reid, 3530 Chalet Lane, Crete, IL 60417-1109.

CONVENTION DELEGATES AND BUSINESS

Since the beginning of the year, the League has been engaging members and leaders in developing a new, five-year strategic plan for the organization. This plan will outline our vision for conser-vation and outdoor recreation in the future and articulate com-mon goals which we can work together to achieve. Discussing and evaluating the plan will be a major focus during convention and delegates will have the opportunity to formally endorse it. The draft plan will be available for members to review and com-ment on between mid-May and mid-June and a final draft plan will be distributed to National Directors, chapter and division leaders, and others prior to the Convention. This is an exciting opportunity to chart the course for the future of the League — and every League member is encouraged to participate.

CONVENTION WILL FOCUS ON LEAGUE STRATEGIC PLAN

Adopted by the League twelve years ago, our Shallow Footprints program has become second nature to most of us. Hotels everywhere have adopted a sustainability policy at some level of their operations. The Hospitality House has a conservation policy in place that lets you determine just how much you want done in your room (e.g., linen service).

Look for the League door hanger in your room. Please make sure to use it every day to indicate your laundry preference. You can also make arrangements with the housekeeping person on your floor.

And don’t forget:

• recycle paper and containers

• turn off lights and appliances when you leave the room

• draw your room blinds to keep the heat out

• turn off the tap while you brush or shave

• set air conditioning to a moderate temp when you are gone
