The position requires attendance at two regional caucuses and two statewide meetings per year during a two-year term, with an option to run for an additional term.

There will not be a virtual option for this caucus, however, staff presentations and information in advance of the meeting will be available through this sign up form. The link will also allow virtual voting in the caucus representative election. A summary of the meeting notes will be emailed to the Northeast Region Caucus contact list.
“Caucus representatives are the mouthpiece of the hunting and angling community to Colorado Parks and Wildlife,” said Mark Leslie, CPW Northeast Region Manager. “We rely on the delegates to stay engaged with our sportspersons through regular conversations about the state of our wildlife and recreation opportunities.”
