and wildlife agencies and other Association members to enhance fish and
wildlife habitat and encourage sustainably managed fish and wildlife resources
through the reauthorization and implementation of conservation, forestry,
energy and other provisions of the 2014 and future Farm Bills. The incumbent

Committee and its seven programmatic working groups to troubleshoot Farm Bill
conservation implementation challenges and work with federal agencies and

achieving desired outcomes. The coordinator also works with Congress during the
Farm Bill reauthorization process and appropriations cycles to advance the state
fish and wildlife agencies’ Farm Bill priorities.
