Where does the money go?

I get asked that almost every year on here. And, I will answer the question again since you have asked before Rowdie.

Fundraiser for What???


This link will help: http://ndsportfishingcongress.org/ ......Banquets do not run themselves and there are cost associated not only with that, but pretty much any other NDSFC function too.

There are some eleven fishing clubs/organizations associated with the NDSFC. From the web-page -- and it pretty much describes what they do: The North Dakota Sportfishing Congress (NDSFC) is the umbrella organization for all the fishing clubs of North Dakota. It is designed to be a watchdog and work with the Game and Fish Department, North Dakota Legislature and the Congress of the United States. The NDSFC is made up of an Executive Board consisting of a President, Past President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and five Directors-at-Large. Each member club is allotted two voting delegate at each meeting. The NDSFC also employs a lobbyist during the State Legislative sessions. The NDSFC meets at least twice a year with the main annual meeting and election of officers in the spring. Executive Board meetings are held as needed.

Join up and come to a meeting, or join a local fishing club and voice your concerns on fishing in this great State of North Dakota. See you at the Banquet and thanks for your support!

If you knew the answer why ask the question??? Again???

 

[Rowdie]

They never did answer, either time. I'm just guessing, but I must be right.

So you read the post above and still don’t know what the organization does? I thought you were a teacher of some sorts. Explained it just fine after I read it.

color me dumb, but I don't quite understand the ending use of funds either, umbrella group? sounds like a self appointed government that is here to help

Non Profit = Non transparency

Yeah I teach math so I'm kind of a logical freak. I need exact facts and numbers. When they say they are an umbrella club to all the clubs with a few head honchos. That tells me the head honchos take the money for beer, bait, and gas. Oh and they "employ a lobbyist". So why not just answer that to begin with instead of the run around? I ask a simple question, so just say, we hire a lobbyist, and have a board that meets twice a year. Donate if you want.

I'm with you Rowdie. When you are selling something or promoting a cause. Tell the whole story.
