87th Annual Convention

The Conservation Federation of Missouri (CFM) invites you to join us at our 2023 Annual Convention. This Convention marks CFM’s 87th year of dedication to conservation.

*****The highest bid from the online auction will be the starting bid for the live auction at the actual banquet on Saturday night. If there are no bids higher than the online bid at the banquet, the online bid will win. Online bidders will be contacted within 1 week after the banquet, to coordinate payment and pickup from the CFM office/shipping.*****

Convention will be held at the Margaritaville Resort in Osage Beach. 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.

We expect this special 87th Convention to be a great time at our new location and we hope you plan to join us. If you cannot join us, 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.
