Texas Organization of Wildlife Management Associations is an organization that brings together wildlife management associations throughout Texas to achieve common goals and objectives.

TOWMA believes there is strength in numbers.

While individual wildlife associations may consist of hundreds of landowners, TOWMA represents thousands by bringing them all together.  Consequently, TOWMA is more likely to be listened to when addressing issues at the state and national level that affect land owners, land owner’s rights, and wildlife in Texas.

TOWMA has representation on important committees that provide guidance to legislators who pass laws affecting wildlife and land use practices.

TOWMA also monitors legislation and other state-wide issues affecting landowners, and communicates that information to its members, acting as an informational resource and the voice of the members who are landowners.

TOWMA facilitates the formation of new management associations by providing the guidance, information, and resources needed for landowners.

Sharing “Best Practices” information among TOWMA members related to running a wildlife management association. 

Dozens of challenges face the officers and boards of wildlife associations as they manage and grow their organizations. Recognizing that older TOWMA members have already found answers to most issues, TOWMA provides a vehicle for sharing information and re-usable templates to help organizations avoid “re-inventing the wheel” time after time.

TOWMA provides educational opportunities to its members and the public.

Every other year there is a two day Symposium held that brings together some of the best wildlife professionals in the United States. Additional learning resources are contained in our member newsletters and this website.  TOWMA also provides, in a password protected area of their web site, educational resources to management association officers and directors that they can use in local association newsletters, meetings, and field days. 

The TOWMA organizational structure includes one voting representative from every member association.  This assures TOWMA hears from and considers the positions of all its membership in forming policy.

In addition to three officers, President, Vice President, and Secretary-Treasurer, TOWMA utilizes an Advisory Committee normally consisting of approximately ten members. These committee members represent a variety of backgrounds and as volunteers they perform a variety of tasks for TOWMA. Every president of a TOWMA member organization, or their designated alternate, is a TOWMA voting board member and is encouraged to attend all TOWMA board meetings and vote on issues before the board.
