Concerned Past and Present KRPGA Members

Dear concerned past and present KRPGA members


It has come to our attention that all is not correct within the
Kenai River Professional Guide Association, KRPGA.

The below list of [passed or present] KRPGA members are very concerned about
the MAJOR changes the KRPGA attempted at the Feburary, 2002 Board of Fish meeting.
These members wish to make serious changes in the way the KRPGA is doing
business both today and in the future at our March, Alaska Board of Fish meeting.

-----------------------------------------------

If you are a [past or present] member of the KRPGA and are interested in
changing the direction the association has taken, please either add
your name to the below list or just enter a" YES" response next to your name,
and return this email to us. We will be contacting you.

Below our names is a copy of new KRPGA mission goals and Bylaw changes
which we are generating for a new and reorganized KRPGA.
The KRPGA has operated to long without standards and goals,
we feel they are long over-due.

KRPGA Mission Statement

Committed to Conservation & Promoting the
Kenai & Kasilof River Sportfish Charter Industry

The Kenai River Professional Guide Association (KRPGA) has been the
Kenai & Kasilof Rivers leading salmon and trout conservation / charter
organization. Members are dedicated to conserving and developing
Kenai & Kasilof River coldwater fisheries and their watersheds.
The association is constantly involved in working to obtain guided
angler friendly political representatives, teaching kids how important
it is to protect our fishery habitat while also developing those fisheries
resources to a maximum sustainable yield. KRPGA members are
actively engaged in the fight to preserve our precious salmon and
trout resources while at the same time obtaining fair fisheries allocation
opportunities for the Alaskan guided angler.
We as an organization desire to promote professional sport fish access
while minimizing the displacement of private common USER access to those
resources. We as an organization desire to position the KRPGA to be a
platform where our many professional members may have a single unified voice.
