Fruits of their efforts…

Bob Semerau

With the coming month of May results from our two competitions will be announced.

Winners from among the Outdoor Writers Association of California members that entered the annual Excellence in Craft competition will be rewarded with cash prizes for the first time in OWAC history.

Additionally, the high school students participating in our Pat Vachini Scholarship competition will have been judged and winners will be announced. Cash prizes and certificates will also be awarded in May for the exemplary entries received.

Planning is underway for a fall conference with details coming soon, once all the pieces have fallen into place.

The OWAC Board of Directors is dedicated to making the organization stronger by pursuing a new, innovative membership outreach program. Watch the new www.OWAC.org website for announcements.

Be sure to add your two cents by uploading your stories and photos onto the website as often as possible. It’s easy to do and those postings will be used for our newsletter in coming months.

Yours,

Bob

About

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.
