 Let me introduce myself to those of you who I haven't had the pleasure of meeting. My name is Gabe Parr and I am the current Secretary for the Deschutes Chapter and also the Communications Chair. Over the past few years we have grown our board considerably and as a group we felt it would be a great time to re-introduce ourselves to our members and our Central Oregon Community.
We have a very diverse Board currently, with backgrounds from all walks of life and variety of professional endeavors. It is my belief we represent a good cross-section of the Central Oregon Community as we know it today. Long time residents and Chapter members who have been giving us insight, our new members eagerly stepping into leadership roles - it is both exciting and a privilege to be part of our leadership group. Our focus as a group has never been keener to address the many issues we face here in the Upper Deschutes Basin.
- Our Mission:
The Deschutes Chapter of Trout Unlimited currently has over 400 members dedicated to working with all organizations in the area to improve the Upper Deschutes Watershed. These goals are rooted in our desire to conserve, protect, restore and advocate for Central Oregon coldwater fisheries and the watersheds that support them.
- About Trout Unlimited:
