Executive Director’s Message

Newsletter: December 2020 – January 2021 

We’ve come into Fall and soon Winter will be upon us. As the seasons change, the holidays cannot be far behind.

The hectic pace may have slowed a bit, what with all the challenges we face today. But our efforts at sharing the happiness of the holiday spirit with others should not be hampered by the restraints of social distancing or silenced by reduced readership.

The time is nigh to make an extra stride toward expressing our gratitude for each day, each other, and for this lovely state in which we live. Find new ways of getting your story across. Add some zing to the OWAC Facebook page, post some special photos, and scribe a few lines for the semi-monthly newsletter, OWAC Outdoors.

And most importantly, reach out to those you care about. A phone call, a letter, or even Zoom will do. While we do communicate California’s outdoor delights, let’s make time to express what we feel inside as well.

Best to all this Holiday Season.

Yours,

Bob Semerau

OWAC Executive Director

Bob Semerau

My many years running our own business gives me a unique perspective on managing projects and creating effective programs. Passionate about fishing, I have been a staff writer for Western Outdoor News (WON) for over 20-years. Getting out on numerous WON fishing charters off-shore along the southern California coast, exploring Alaska and Mexico, and finding hidden gems like Bishop and Auburn for wild trout, makes it worth the effort. Writing about the outdoors led me to a mutually beneficial relationship with the professional members of OWAC. As Executive Director, I work to support the members of the organization and achieve their mission to tell stories of the great outdoors, which has been truly rewarding for me both personally and professionally.
