AUTUMN ASSEMBLY
Autumn Assembly Success
The Autumn Assembly of Committees is always an exciting event for NWFPA
where various committees gather to share ideas and provide direction for
the year ahead. The meetings, held October 1-2, 2013, included Government
Affairs, Operations and Technical Affairs, Energy, Sustainability, Environmental Affairs, Northwest Poultry Committee, Workforce for Productivity, ERI
Board of Directors, and the 100 Year Anniversary Task Force. Issues of concern to the industry were discussed and reported on to the NWFPA Board of
Directors to ensure that the association is on top of the latest movements.
The Autumn Assembly is also the known for its premier golf tournament and
first-class fishing derby. A record 32 fishermen participated in the derby, featuring a catered shore lunch and more fish stories than one could count. The
golf tournament, held at Columbia Edgewater Country Club, sold out three
weeks in advance. While the rain held out for most of the day, a downpour
drenched players on the final two holes. Spirits were not dampened, however,
and the Awards Dinner that followed hosted nearly 200 participants who
cheered and chided the winners. Door prizes valued at $12,000 were awarded.
Thank you to the numerous sponsors, many of whom braved the elements,
to add to the festivities. Hole activities included chipping and putting competitions, a blackjack table, a scotch and cigar bar, tequila on ice, kegs, and
cookies. The goodie bags, thanks to many NWFPA’s generous donors, set
new records in terms of value and number of items presented. The Autumn
Assembly also provided a first look at NWFPA’s centennial celebration plans
that will embellish all 2014 signature events.
