Welcome to Columbus and the 69th Midwest Fish & Wildlife 

Conference! I hope that you’ll find the heart of the Buckeye State 

a great venue for exploring our theme, Foundation for the Future 

of Fish & Wildlife Management. From great hotel accommodations 

and a variety of casual dining opportunities to excellent 

meeting facilities at the Hyatt Regency, our planning committee 

hopes to provide you with an enjoyable stay and an excellent 

technical program. Fine meals will be provided at both the Sunday 

and Tuesday night receptions. 

Attendees of the 1998 Midwest Fish & Wildlife Conference 

hosted in Ohio may recall a lively social with VERY live music 

provided by Ohio’s own Menus. I am pleased to announce that 

the Menus will return for our Tuesday night gathering and can 

confirm that they haven’t slowed down a bit! Make sure to save 

some time during your busy week to unwind on Tuesday night for 

an evening to remember. 

Our planning committee is following Wisconsin’s lead from the 

68th Conference by minimizing the amount of printed materials, 

banners, and other items that ultimately end up in landfills. While 

we’ve tried to keep costs down, we also may have missed a few 

details. If you need assistance at any time during the conference, 

please don’t hesitate to stop by the registration area or notify 

conference staff who will be wearing lime green t-shirts with the 

word “STAFF” printed on the back to help you recognize them. 

Thanks again for joining us in Columbus 

for the 69th Midwest Fish & Wildlife Conference!
