SEARCY, Ark. - June 24, 2015 - William O. Hamill, of Searcy, Ark., was elected to Ducks Unlimited's national board of directors during the organization's annual convention held recently in Milwaukee.
"The leadership of our board of directors ensures we are fulfilling our mission to conserve, restore and manage wetlands and associated habitats for North America's waterfowl," said DU CEO Dale Hall. "Our board members are not paid for their work; rather they volunteer their time and resources because they feel so strongly about conservation. I welcome each new member and look forward to working with them in the years to come."
Hamill is a pharmacist in Searcy, and his journey with Ducks Unlimited began with the local Hurricane Lake chapter in 1998. In the past 17 years, he has been district, area, major gifts and state chairman. He and his wife, Cyanne, are Heritage Sponsors.
In addition to the elections of volunteer leadership, this year's convention featured presentations by U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack; Virtual Instruments CEO, John Thompson and Caterpillar Inc. CEO, Doug Oberhelman. Next year's convention will be held in Anchorage, Alaska, June 1-5.
Ducks Unlimited Inc. is the world's largest non-profit organization dedicated to conserving North America's continually disappearing waterfowl habitats. Established in 1937, Ducks Unlimited has conserved more than 13 million acres thanks to contributions from more than a million supporters across the continent.
