President’s Remarks (part 1)
ATA here to pitch partnership to pull in more Bowhunters Recapped evolution of NFAA: originally Roving Archers (Pasadena) and unmarked, then marked, and so on to spots. Need to push to re-welcome bowhunters to expand membership
Headquarters Update — Brittany
Working a new ATA Partnership (3 year) to form more clubs and establish NFAA Clubs & Shops as “social center” for archers to bring people together
Emily & Jennifer Major from ATA: Focused on growing Bowhunting; sees opportunities in NFAA’s club & shop structure to reach BHs and welcome them into our social circle
Massively tuning up online club & shop locator and database
Creating development tools for clubs & shops and publicizing benefits — and figure out why we’re losing clubs & shops. Will be producing materials/slide decks on what we are and why we are a good thing. Directors requested Brittany send it out to all, including her slide deck
