Austin Booth, Director of Arkansas Game & Fish Commission
Director Austin Booth will cover the FY 22 (7/1/21 to 6/30/22) Annual Report, the first of its kind for the agency, and then share highlights from “Natural State Tomorrow”, AGFC’s strategic plan that will guide the agency for the next five years. Focal areas for the Strategic Plan include Staff Excellence, Conservation and Enhancement of Statewide Habitat, Commitment to Arkansans, and Outreach. Without many partners, including Audubon and others, the agency will be unable to complete the ambitious goals we have laid out. AGFC looks forward to working with its partners to help improve habitat and conservation in Arkansas.
