Mitch,

Thank you for the invitation. Wen. or Thurs., May 10th or 11th, would be best for our board. We all have varying schedules. The board will attend as possible, dependent on what day and time is decided. Monday May 8, would be the worst day for us. We will work to have as many of our board members attend any day.

FYI, our entire board, dependent on scheduling, will be attending, as well as any regional reps, County Deer Advisory Council Chairpersons, or Council members will be welcome to accompany us. From the very foundation of our GROUP, we have made it perfectly clear, there would be no individual ever "representing" IWDHM, nor would there be any money involved in the way of dues and so forth. With that said we will also record the meeting to share with our Group. Even with the very strict rules of the FWCC (that not one person in 7 CDAC meetings has heard of) we had the one representative at the table, while many of us were there texting him information in real-time.

We do this, to prevent what our older deer groups/organizations have become, whereas such a very few represent themselves and their personal agenda, without polling their members or giving any post meeting briefing to their members. We will pray you would understand this, and welcome all that would desire to attend, and be open to a record of the meeting that will be available to all stakeholders that participate in our group. Total, unbending transparency.

We also do not consider this to be a replacement meeting with DNR leadership regarding the completion of our CDAC pilots. We would also pray, that in a meeting regarding the future of deer management in Indiana, CDAC's will be part of that discussion from the start.
