The North American Game Bird Association(NAGA) mission is to perform, stimulate and promote educational work and develop the interest of the gamebird breeding and hunting preserve industries for the general betterment of such industries. This is accomplished through communication, our annual convention and through cooperation with federal, state, and local government agencies in all matters of general concern to the industry and hunter's rights. This is all funded through membership dues at a not-for pecuniary profit level.
NAGA has been in a steady financial state over the past few years. Every effort is being mad by the Board of Directors to insure NAGA stability and readiness continues. Our members, executive Director and Board of Directors keep a watchful eye on legislation and special interest groups that directly threaten the existence of our industry. Our Executive Director - Ladd Johnson has been instrumental in developing Conservation Partnerships with other organizations that share our same goals so we are prepared to take the offensive protections steps when needed.
