Arkansas Chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers Announces Appointment of Jim Taylor to the Board of Directors
“We are thrilled to welcome Jim to the Arkansas BHA board,” said Larry Haden, Chapter Chair. “Jim brings a unique blend of conservation experience and business acumen to BHA, honed by a BS in marketing, 12 years in leadership roles in the hunting/archery industry, and 22 years running his own successful business. His deep commitment to protecting our public lands, combined with his extensive experience in grassroots organizing and advocacy, will be invaluable as we continue to fight for our wild places in Arkansas.”
Taylor, a veteran of the hunting industry, has a long history of conservation involvement, including serving for seven years on the board of the Arkansas Wildlife Federation. In addition to his duties as Treasurer, Jim coordinated with the USFWS on their "Partners for Wildlife" program, which earned national recognition. He also spearheaded a grassroots campaign to expand the Dale Bumpers White River National Wildlife Refuge, gathering over 1,300 signatures in support of protecting crucial bottomland habitat.
"I have found my people with BHA," said Taylor. "They give me hope...they're a boots-on-the-ground, take charge group of public land warriors that I relate to. They truly understand that this uniquely American thing we've inherited—our public lands—is what makes this country truly great."
