2011 Commission Awards
 

Commission Awards Banquet set for Jan. 14

The annual Arizona Game and Fish Commission Awards Banquet will be held on Saturday, January 14, 2012, at the Carefree Resort & Conference Center, 37220 Mule Train Road, Carefree, AZ 85377. The event will honor the recipients of this year's Commission Awards (see below).

The Arizona Game and Fish Commission selected the 2011 Commission Award recipients at its October 14, 2011 meeting.  The purpose of these awards are to recognize Arizonans who have contributed significantly to the conservation of the state's wildlife, its outdoor heritage, and the mission of the Arizona Game and Fish Department.

The social hour begins at 5:30 p.m. followed by dinner and the awards ceremony.  The cost is $55 for an individual, or $500 for a table of 10 (a $50 savings over the cost of the seats if purchased individually).  Click on the link below for an RSVP Registration Form.
