OWAA Board Statement

OWAA’s Board has great respect, appreciation and gratitude for those corporations, agencies and organizations that support OWAA. We wish to preserve and enhance the close working relationship between our active members and those traditionally called ‘supporting members.’ We wish to preserve the integrity and spirit of the current relationship. The Board also wishes to eliminate the misperception that any affiliation or contact between our active members and any advocacy group represents an endorsement of the group’s positions by OWAA or by OWAA active members. “OWAA’s Board intends to recognize supporting groups, agencies and businesses in an appropriate manner in the Directory, Outdoors Unlimited and other OWAA listings. The Board also intends to institute a new business relationship that will be mutually beneficial to OWAA and supporting groups, agencies and businesses. The Board hopes that this proposal will spark a frank and constructive discussion.

- OWAA Board of Directors, Jan. 14, 2007
