spotlight It’s in the Magic! REBECCA WOOD Outdoor Women Unlimited Founder, Executive Director 14 | | SPECIAL EDITION 2006-2016 The mission of Outdoor Women Unlimited is dedicated to providing women and families with the education and the excitement of the outdoor experience through teaching outdoor life skills, sharing the knowledge of our natural resources while building self esteem, strengthening individual character and promoting self reliance in a safe and professional environment. OWU, a 501C3 nonprofit organization, celebrates ten years in the outdoor education industry. The commitment, dedication and passion of hundreds of volunteers, sponsors and members across the USA have formed a strong foundation of diverse field training in outdoor education. Fundraising, supported by donors, events and grants have fueled our vision. We continue to expand our unique design in outdoor adventure by educating women in outdoor skills, preservation and conservation of our natural resources. OWU No Limits Certification program, BLAZE (OWU magazine), NRA Certification training program (Small Arms Training Consultants), Hunter Certification and other training programs, offer a diverse selection of outdoor activities. We have been blessed to have a dedicated team of leaders in the field of creative event design. Their talents have continued to share innovative ideas with a unique presence of style. How do we do it? Listening to our members and never lose sight of our mission. Outdoor education training in a safe field environment while building confidence and self-reliance results in another consumer in the outdoor industry-making a difference-one at a time. A woman who loves the sport, understands her tools and how to use, is a loyal consumer and supporter for a lifetime. Accept No Limits | outdoorwomenunlimited.org
