CFM's 82nd Annual "Come Home to Conservation"

The Conservation Federation of Missouri (CFM) invites you to join us at our 2018 Annual Convention. This Convention marks CFM’s 82nd year of dedication to conservation.

Convention will be held at the Capitol Plaza Hotel in Jefferson City the weekend of March 9-11. Join us as we honor conservation leaders with awards and take part as resource committees craft resolutions aimed at improving Missouri’s already incredible natural resources.

Each year, students from around the state gather at Convention to meet conservation professionals and learn how to make change at the political level. These students are part of the Conservation Leadership Corps (CLC). CLC students assist in creating resolutions.

With over 400 attendees, our 2017 Convention was a productive, event-filled weekend spent with passionate conservationists. The banquet on Saturday evening was, as always, an exciting event. Over 300 silent auction items were donated, as well as over 25 live auction items. Attendees left the event with a renewed passion for the outdoors and new ideas for preserving our unique system of conservation.

We expect this special 82nd Convention to be even better, and we hope you plan to join us. If you cannot join us on the 10th, you still have the opportunity to be involved through our online auction. Bid now to support CFM's mission.

Mission: To ensure conservation of Missouri’s wildlife and natural resources, and preservation of our state’s rich outdoor heritage through advocacy, education and partnerships.

The Conservation Federation of Missouri is not a branch of state government or an entity of a public agency. CFM is a private organization made up of thousands of Missourians who work together to better our natural resources, and represent Missouri’s citizen conservationists. Actively involved in state and national issues that relate to conservation, the Federation has long been a prominent and effective voice before the Missouri general assembly, the Missouri Department of Conservation and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.

The members of CFM are the conscience of hunters, fishermen, foresters, campers, trappers, hikers, paddlers, birdwatchers and more. CFM speaks for sportsmen and sportswomen whenever and wherever it is necessary, to support our collective opinions on the future of Missouri outdoors. In fact, most of the conservation legislation in Missouri today exists, because of the federation’s strong advocacy work.

Top bid from the online auction will transition into the live event during the banquet, on Saturday, March 10 at the Capitol Plaza Hotel in Jefferson City.

If the top online bid is the winning bid the night of the live auction, winning bidders will be notified no later than March 15.
