DENVER - An important public meeting where Colorado Parks and Wildlife will discuss hunting license allocation and preference points with hunters, among a host of other topics, will take place Thursday, Aug. 4 at the Northeast Region Sportsperson Caucus.
That meeting will be held in-person from 6-8 p.m. on the third floor of the Scheels in Johnstown (4755 Ronald Reagan Blvd.) on Aug. 4. It will also be streamed live via CPW’s statewide Facebook page, for those who are unable to attend in person.
Northeast Region Manager Mark Leslie and staff will be providing updates from CPW on hunting, angling and other topics within the region.
Attendees of the meeting will also be electing 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 Northeast Region on important issues at the statewide level. Nominations for the regional delegates are currently being accepted and during the Aug. 4 meeting, voting will take place to elect the new delegate.
To apply to be a regional delegate, please email Margo Federico at [email protected]. The deadline to apply is Monday, Aug. 1.
Regional delegates have the opportunity for direct communication with CPW and acting director Heather Dugan about hunting, fishing and other issues in the Northeast Region. Regional delegates will be expected to attend the statewide Sportsperson Roundtable that meets twice a year. The next statewide meeting is being held later in August.
