HERNANDO, Miss. - June 23, 2015 - David Victory, of Hernando, Miss., 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."
Victory works in sales for Trumbo, Inc., a custom pressure vessel fabrication shop in Memphis, Tenn. He and his wife enjoy raising British labs for hunting and family life. He began volunteering for Ducks Unlimited in 1996 and has since held many volunteer positions, including serving as the current state chairman for Mississippi. He accepted the top state award on behalf of Mississippi's volunteers at the national convention.
"My time with DU has been a family affair," Victory said. "My wife, Anita, and daughter, Amanda, have supported and served alongside me in all that I have done for the ducks."
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.
