Investing in wildlife and wildlife professionals

About the 1000

This effort was launched in 2014 by former TWS President Bruce Leopold and then-TWS Chief Operating Officer Ed Thompson with the goal of generating an ongoing, additional annual revenue stream of at least $200,000 from 1,000 members who make an annual donation of at least $100. Leading by example, these members fund TWS Strategic Plan initiatives that would otherwise be significantly delayed or unfunded.

As a member of The 1000, you’ll be publicly recognized by tier on the >TWS website and in The Wildlife Professional. You’ll also receive an invitation for a very special event at the TWS Annual Conference exclusively for The 1000 and a ribbon for your badge recognizing your leadership. Additionally, you’ll receive updates from current CEO Ed Arnett through The 1000 Report e-newsletter that shares how your generosity is making a difference for TWS, our members, and the next generation of wildlife professionals.

Thank You

The following individuals are leading by example to preserve the heritage of TWS and create a brighter future that ensures that TWS is the voice of wildlife science, management and conservation for generations to come. Members of the 1000 are listed below based on their total contributions to the initiative to date.

      Honor: C. R. “Chris” Grondahl
      C. R. was the first president of the North Dakota Chapter of the Wildlife Society, a chapter he was instrumental in organizing. Following service with the 114th Infantry Regiment in Europe during WWII, he returned home and completed work on a MS in Wildlife Biology at the University of Iowa. He began his career with the North Dakota Game and Fish Department in 1954, serving for 35 years, the latter years as the Chief of Game Management. He was the epitome of a wildlife chief, working side by side with his employees on both routine and research projects. He had a unique ability to lead, and years after his retirement, his former employees still respectfully address him as “Chief”.
