AMBASSADORS PART II The term “firing on all cylinders” means an engine is running at peak performance. In other words, all the pistons are contributing toward a common goal. WSF is blessed to have just completed another record-breaking Sheep Week®. We were firing on all cylinders. Our staff, volunteers, contractors, and vendors all did their part. Our exhibitors, sponsors, donors, and buyers all contributed at a high level, as did our members, Chapters and Affiliates, and other partners. They are all recognized,
as they should be, in some way across the pages of this post-convention issue. Another group that contributed significantly to our success is what we call our ambassadors. These are individuals that are respected communicators and advocates within the Wild Sheep Family and broader hunterconservationist community that helped us spread the good word on WSF and Sheep Week® to all those that look to them for insights and credible and inspiring information. The “buzz”
leading up to, during, and after the convention was largely their doing. Please join us in thanking them for their efforts and loyalty when you get the chance and watch future issues of Wild Sheep® for features on WSF Ambassadors Rachel Ahtila, Craig Boddington, Amanda Caldwell, Adam Janke, Jason Matzinger, J. Alain Smith, Jana Waller, Remi Warren and new 2022 additions to the WSF Team! WS
