Delta Waterfowl Welcomes New Regional Director For New York and New England States

Thomas Reed will support chapters in the northeast as they ramp up fundraising efforts and spread awareness of Delta’s mission

Thomas Reed is Delta Waterfowl’s new regional director for New York and the New England states. As a regional director, Reed will lead Delta’s existing chapters and start new chapters in the area. His goal is to conduct successful fundraising events that support Delta’s mission to produce ducks and ensure the future of waterfowl hunting in North America.

Reed and his family were introduced to Delta Waterfowl through the chapter banquet system. After attending several banquets with his wife, he was inspired by the chapter’s work and decided to create a chapter in Greene, New York, before applying his passions full-time for The Duck Hunters Organization. In this new role, he looks to expand the Delta footprint in the area and is particularly passionate about Delta’s hunter recruitment, retention, and reactivation programs.

“I love Delta’s UHP,” Reed said. “Our chapter has had some of the largest hunts within the program including those at Cornell University and Binghamton University. I’m most passionate about R3 and getting our youth involved.”

When he’s not working, Reed enjoys kayaking and fishing with his family as well as spending weekends camping and enjoying the outdoors. But during hunting season, there is no doubt he is in a blind somewhere, either chasing after ducks or hunting some big Canada goose feeds.

“Tommy has represented Delta Waterfowl for over four years in a volunteer capacity,” said Chris Williams, Delta’s director of events in the Atlantic Flyway. “His time as a grassroots leader, determined member, and devoted waterfowl hunter will be a strong compliment as he continues to work for and with the volunteers and members within the New York – New England region. We are extremely excited for Tommy to join the team at Delta Waterfowl!”
