Florida Outdoor Writers Association (FOWA) held their annual conference at River Ranch Resort in Polk County in August and the AFC was invited to attend. FOWA has been a long-time supporter of the AFC and it was a good to enjoy time with the various authors and supporting associates. AFC programs serves as a gateway to the outdoors through hands on training of fishing and conservation. Through their articles and books, FOWA writers fuel passion and desire in their readers to be outdoors. FOWA’s supports Anglers of Conservation and several other organizations not only financially but also with their personal time and expertise. We are fortunate to enjoy a partnership with FOWA and look forward to working with them in the future to expand our sustainability message.
