There are currently 25 State Offices of Outdoor Recreation in the US with more being created.  This talk will focus on how these offices work to build support for the recreation industry, recreation providers, and recreation professionals, and how your business benefits from this effort.  The Confluence of States is a bipartisan organization developing a national platform to grow the outdoor recreation industry, protect our nation's wild places and transform conservation into a driver for economic prosperity. We are proving the great outdoors are our greatest resource.
