BIGGAME.ORG DECEMBER 2019 | 1 DSC FOUNDATION Stand and Be Counted BY RICHARD T. CHEATHAM, DSC FOUNDATION EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR en years. It is hard to believe it has been that long, but 10 years ago I was deep into the planning for First Light, the 2010 DSC Convention and Sporting Expo, marking the return Tto the Dallas Convention Center. The decision to return to the Convention Center was hotly debated, as was the decision a few years before to expand the Convention from three days to four, and even the decision to offer online bidding for live auction items. Change is often difficult but in many cases it is necessary. These changes, when viewed in hindsight, were unequivocally and resoundingly correct – each has played a role in the growth of the Club and that growth has contributed greatly to DSC’s rise in stature and prominence at home and on the world stage. No changes enacted by DSC have been more debated, studied and discussed, than the decisions to create the DSC Foundation and the DSC Chapter system, adopted in 2015, and, I would argue, no other decisions, past or future, will have a greater impact on the role that DSC will play in critical decisions that will impact hunting. The chapter system will expand the reach of DSC at home and abroad and will allow U.S. and international hunters to proudly represent the ideals that DSC has become known for. DSC Foundation stands at the starting line of its monumental charge. The aim is to change the way the public thinks about international hunting through support for sound, effective grant initiatives and to share those projects and the undeniable and irrefutable success stories evidencing the positive and beneficial impact of hunting for wildlife, wilderness and the local communities
