[QUOTE="Fritz the Cat, post: 444699, member: 605"] The Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies is a 501(C)6 non-profit. The Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies is a 501(C)4 non-profit. ND is within the Western. The WAFWA is a large area including Alaska, six Canadian Provinces and the western half of the U.S. The WAFWA has committees and working groups.
