The Chairmans Elite chapters are among Ducks Unlimiteds most prestigious volunteer chapters throughout the nation. Every year, the list is reserved for the chapters that raise at least $1 million for DUs habitat conservation work. This year, the Moses Lake Chapter ranked near the top of list.
These fundraising events are the backbone of DUs habitat conservation efforts, and the volunteers who make up these chapters are the force making a difference for North American waterfowl populations, said DU President Rogers Hoyt Jr. It takes a great deal of effort to achieve these levels, and these chapters deserve to be congratulated by every person who enjoys the outdoors.
The Chairmans Elite chapters were tops among the more than 2,600 DU chapters nationwide that host more 4,200 fundraising events throughout the year. DUs event fundraising system has become a model for other conservation organizations around the world and has funded a significant portion of the more than 14.5 million acres of wetlands and associated habitat DU has conserved since 1937.
The hard work and dedication from DUs event system volunteers and staff drive the organizations conservation mission from a financial, membership and policy strength perspective, Hoyt said. DU chapters across the country are showing that the future of waterfowl populations and the wetlands that filter our water and protect us from flooding are important to them and to their communities. The more money we raise, the more habitat we can conserve and the closer we are to preserving our waterfowl hunting heritage. I would like to personally thank our chapters for their achievements and look forward to seeing them among our distinguished chapters next year.
