WESTERN OUTDOORS NEWS REPORT
United Anglers of Southern California (UASC), an award-winning non-profit sportsmen’s 
organization based in Irvine, California, is continuing its search for a new president and plans to accept new applications through Dec. 10, 2008. The 40,000-member organization is seeking a new president following the recent resignation of Tom Raftican, who headed the group for nearly 12 years and was the driving force behind numerous UASC achievements including removing gillnets from coastal waters, stopping destructive bottom trawling and releasing 1.7 million juvenile white seabass off Southern California.
“We’ve received applications from several very qualified candidates,” said Dave Elm, UASC board chairman and interim president, “and we’re moving ahead aggressively to fill this important post. We want to make certain, however, that everybody who might be interested in this important, challenging position has the opportunity to apply. So we’ve extended the deadline through December 5, 2008, at which time we’ll begin the interview process,” Elm added.
According to Elm, the position of UASC president is one of extreme responsibility and importance. The winning candidate will be in a position to directly effect the implementation of the Marine Life Protection Act in Southern California and, in turn, how that implementation will effect those who fish in our ocean waters. While certainly on the top of everyone’s minds, the MLPA is but one issue that UASC will be dealing with as it pursues its goal of enhancing marine resources while maintaining recreational fishing access for future generations.
“UASC is a great organization that has achieved many great things over the years. Even so, our board of directors feels strongly that our biggest and most important achievements still lie ahead. This is a time of great challenge and great opportunity. We’re committed to finding the best person to carry our vision forward and represent the interests of our many members and our supporters,” said Elm.
Qualified interested parties should contact UASC headquarters at (949) 863-9447 or email Dave Elm at Dave@aftco.com.
