Chairman's Circle

Thank you for your charitable support!

Welcome to Delta Waterfowl’s Chairman’s Circle! Throughout Delta’s history dating back to 1911, conservation leaders like you have championed innovative waterfowl research and critical conservation programs to deliver on a vision to ensure abundant waterfowl populations and endless opportunities to pursue them.

With my major gift, I’m choosing to give back for priceless enjoyment, experiences, and camaraderie that ducks, geese, and waterfowl hunting have afforded me.

Thank you for joining me as we chart an exciting, transformational course for waterfowl conservation in North America.

Sincerely,

George Freeman
Chairman
