The ODFW Commission is recruiting a new director for the Agency and seeks constituent input. As you know, the Agency is facing some critical budget decisions and a number of valuable technical support programs (and staff) are on the line. It's important they hear from councils, districts, and your partners about the value technical field staff bring to your restoration projects. The survey can be found online: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ODFWDirector.
