DSC Expands Chapter Program with Addition of
DSC New Mexico
DSC welcomes the sixth group to join its chapter affiliate
program – DSC New Mexico. The new chapter has come
together to join DSC in their vision of a society that values
wildlife, engages in its conservation, and understands and
supports the role of well-regulated hunting in the sustainable use
of wild resources.
“Our family continues to grow as more and more people
recognize DSC as one of the prominent groups in wildlife
conservation,” said DSC Chapter Development Coordinator Kim
Rappleye. “New Mexico is full of some of the most dedicated
hunters and conservationists and DSC is honored that they chose
to join us in our efforts to protect hunting and wildlife.”
DSC New Mexico encompasses the entire state, which has 60
DSC members, including 15 Life Members. The new chapter will
begin adding members throughout its first year and will host a
chapter convention in late spring or early summer of 2017 at the
Albuquerque Convention Center.
The new chapter offers sportsmen and women an avenue to come
together in a variety of events, such as social outings, fundraising
shoots and youth educational days.
“We are looking forward to this opportunity to expand the vision
of DSC throughout New Mexico,” said DSC New Mexico
President David Reese. “DSC brings resources, influence and
opportunities to help cast our voice into conversations and
policymaking pertaining to wildlife, wild places and the future
of hunting.”
DSC New Mexico joins DSC Northeast, Lubbock Sportsman’s
Club, DSC Austin, DSC South Texas and DSC Permian Basin in
a network of ardent hunters-conservationists. The new chapter
helps connect individuals without geographic ties together to
achieve the club’s mission. DSC has more than 6,000 members
worldwide.
