Safari Club International is proud to announce a momentous new milestone in its membership history. Membership has grown to a historic level, reflecting the strength of SCI's mission and the unwavering commitment of hunters who stand with us in defending the freedom to hunt across the United States and globally.
Together, we safeguard access to wild places, protect wildlife, and ensure future generations, our children and grandchildren, can experience the outdoors as we have.
This milestone also highlights the dedication of SCI's volunteers and professional staff. Their tireless efforts in the field, in our chapters and behind the scenes drive our mission forward every day. Their passion, expertise and commitment form the foundation that enables SCI to protect hunters' rights and make a lasting impact worldwide.
"Our members remain the backbone of this mission, and reaching this new milestone is a testament to their belief in the importance of preserving our hunting heritage. Alongside our devoted volunteers and exceptional staff, they make it possible for SCI to achieve its goals and continue fighting for the future of hunting," said W. Laird Hamberlin, CEO of Safari Club International.
SCI also thanks industry partners that are dedicated to upholding the mission and values of SCI. Their ongoing support is a testament to the essential role our industry partners play in supporting and strengthening our impact.
"Our continued growth is a direct reflection of the people who believe deeply in what SCI stands for," said Jeff Meyerl, President of Safari Club International. "Our members, volunteers and staff are united by a shared purpose to protect the future of hunting. This milestone demonstrates the strength of our community and the momentum we're building together."
SCI leaders said the organization continues to see strong momentum following this year's Convention, noting that the event helped drive sustained growth and engagement among members, volunteers and partners. They said the heightened interest and energy from the Convention have carried forward, contributing to SCI's continued upward trajectory.
