By Matt Jackson
The CBA is looking for talented bowhunters with a passion for helping! As it’s been done for decades, over the past 18 months you have seen tremendous change and action-producing results that have positively impacted bowhunting in Colorado.
Our work is not done. We need talented people who can help make a greater impact. If you would like to have a voice for the future of Colorado bowhunting, here’s how you may help and how you can think of each role in terms of a team.
What is a Regional Director? (Coaches)
A Regional Director is a person who has connections to people and businesses. They are the spearhead of ideas and connecting people in their area. In addition, Regional Directors support and work with Area Representatives, helping to grow CBA awareness with the public by communicating with members and hosting local events when possible. There are 9 Regional Directors. If you enjoy connecting and leading a team of people with large organizations outside the CBA and are a big-picture thinker, this may be for you!

If you enjoy taking ownership of projects like to have fun with other bowhunters, and have talents in the areas listed above contact us today!

Hunting in Colorado is continually being attacked. If you don’t help and take a stand, who will? Will it be your neighbor, your friend, or the person down the street? Who knows? Only you can make a difference with your effort. Don’t be so sure someone else will get involved for you. It starts with you.
While you're hunting this year, not required to wear blaze orange, shooting a bow without a let-off limitation, thinking about your next bobcat or mountain lion hunt, and enjoying the fact that 7th graders around Colorado will be able to take Hunter Education as an elective, please consider joining the team of dedicated volunteers who are making a difference for bowhunters who hunt Colorado.
