Members in good standing who attend will be given tickets to attend the show.

After two full years of County AIS Prevention AiD, it is time to look at the impacts of this program. Results exceed expectations.

Over 350 people from across Minnesota registered for the Aquatic Invaders Summit. The energy and commitment of attendees was impressive and generated well founded hope moving forward. The need to build AIS programs using a broad based partnership between local professional resource managers, local policy makers, resorts, angling groups, lake associations, businesses and the faith community emerged as a Best Management Practice in AIS and other water efforts.

MLR knows that our members are anglers. Yet Lake Associations and local residents are often not percieved to be the core angling constituency in Minnesota. MLR has hired an indpendent researcher, Norman Striezeck, to conduct phone interviews and quantify your commitment and interest in fishing. So if you get a call from Norman - please pick up the call and take a few minutes to talk with him.
