Grand Junction - Sportspersons from across Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s Northwest Region are invited to a virtual caucus meeting to discuss a variety of important issues involving hunting, fishing, and conservation on Wednesday, Feb. 23 at 6 p.m.

Folks wishing to participate in the ZOOM meeting can do so by registering here.

Attendees of the meeting will elect one delegate that will serve as a regional representative at the statewide Sportsperson’s Roundtable. This elected individual will be one of two representing the Northwest Region on important issues at the statewide level. Nominations for the regional delegates are currently being accepted and during the Feb. 23 meeting, voting will take place to elect the new delegate.

To apply to be a regional delegate, please email Rachael Gonzales at [email protected]. The deadline to apply is Monday, Feb. 21.

CPW relies on the roundtable to help give guidance in setting policies, regulations and resource management. Regional delegates have the opportunity for direct communication with CPW and Director Dan Prenzlow about hunting, fishing and other issues in the Northwest Region. Delegates will be expected to attend the statewide Sportsperson’s Roundtable that meets twice a year. The next statewide meeting is being held on Saturday, March 5 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“The Northwest Region's Caucus gives sportsmen and sportswomen in our region the opportunity to have an active voice in how CPW manages wildlife,” Northwest Regional Manager Travis Black said. “Your input is invaluable. We want to hear your thoughts and ideas on CPW policies, regulations, and resource management decisions.”

CPW representatives will attend and help answer questions; however, agency officials stress they are there only to assist. Topics of discussion are determined by roundtable members and the public.

If you wish to submit questions in advance of the meeting to be sure your topic is covered, please email those to [email protected].
