SPONSORSHIP & EXHIBITION POLICY AND GUIDELINES
The Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies’ (the Association’s) mission is to advocate for professional management of fish and wildlife resources in accordance with the tenets of the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation and its two basic principles, (a) that our fish and wildlife belong to all North American citizens, and are to be managed in such a way that their populations will be sustained forever and (b) to further advocate for the doctrine of primacy of state management authority for resident wildlife. To further our mission, we accept government agency, corporate, industry, organizational, and individual sponsorships and booth exhibits under strict guidelines.
We will refuse any sponsorship or messaging that we believe is incompatible with that of our mission or the missions of our member state fish and wildlife agencies. AFWA will not solicit or accept sponsorships from government agencies, corporations, organizations, or individuals whose practices, policies, or operations are deemed unacceptable and/or contrary to the values implicit in our mission as articulated in our bylaws, resolutions and policies.
