MISSION STATEMENT
The Professional Outdoor Media Association, Inc. is a group of individual
communicators and Corporate Partners who believe in, defend, support and promote
the heritage of hunting, fishing, shooting and traditional outdoor sports
through writing, photography and other means. By doing so, members hope to
educate the general public about these sports and encourage more participation
in them. The organization serves the membership by helping members grow
professionally, improve their skills, better their working environments and
enhance their businesses.
IRREVOCABLE CHARTER
In January 2005, at a combined meeting during the Safari Club International
(SCI) convention and the Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade (SHOT) show, outdoor
communicators elected a steering committee of their peers for the purpose of
creating a new national outdoor media organization. The committee met in May
2005 at White Oak Plantation near Tuskegee, Alabama and formed the Professional
Outdoor Media Association (POMA).
The organization offers a congenial, collegial atmosphere to its members and
provides them meaningful services including education in craft, improvement in
business practices, tools to enhance efficiency and profits along with extensive
networking opportunities. Members are committed to preserving the sanctity of
freedom of speech and the right of individuals to keep and bear arms; fostering
ethical standards in business dealings, communications and the codes by which
they personally abide when afield; maintaining the integrity, understanding and
enjoyment of traditional hunting, fishing, trapping and shooting activities.
POMA recognizes the important role that industry and members of the conservation
community play in the perpetuation of outdoor sports. The organization
acknowledges the mutually beneficial relationship individual and Corporate
Partners enjoy as members
Finally, we honor the memory of the great hunting, fishing, trapping and
shooting communicators from the past and pledge to perpetuate the heritage of
our profession.
