NASC Executive Council to Meet and Discuss Progress of the First Six Months
As the National Assembly of Sportsmen’s Caucuses wraps up its first six months, the Executive Council will be meeting next week at International Paper’s Hamilton Lake Conference Center near Lake Pleasant, NY.

Specifically, attendees will discuss how NASC model legislation has led to a unified pro-sportsmen’s agenda that can be seen throughout the 2005 legislative session and how to strengthen NASC’s role and effectiveness. Council members will also set the agenda for the Second Annual Meeting of the National Assembly of Sportsmen’s Caucuses to be held November 13-15 on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
