Tom Sadler

Male

Sadler is a lifelong outdoorsman and has worked for years in both the conservation and outdoor recreation arenas. A former U.S. Navy Reserve officer and an avid angler and hunter, he lives in Verona, Va., in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley. OWAA is fortunate to find someone of Toms caliber to lead our organization into a demanding new era, said Mark Taylor, OWAA president and outdoor writer for The Roanoke Times. This era requires that we adapt to an ever-changing media landscape in order to best serve our existing membership and attract new members. Tom is more than equal to the task at hand. We had a number of excellent candidates, but Toms experience in the outdoor and conservation arenas complemented by his vast professional network best positions him to lead the OWAA, continued Taylor. I believe he will guide our group to new heights. Sadler owns and runs a consulting firm, The Middle River Group, where he focuses on advocating for outdoor recreation and conservation. He launched the company in after moving to Verona from Washington, D.C. Prior to that, Sadler was the director of program development for the Trust for Public Land. He also served as the conservation director for the Izaak Walton League of America and was president of the Congressional Sportsmens Foundation. Sadler has worked as an outdoor columnist for the New Virginian in Waynesboro and writes about the outdoors and conservation on his blog, Dispatches from Middle River (middleriverdispatch.com). He also works occasionally as a fly-fishing guide for Mossy Creek Fly Fishing in Harrisonburg, Va. My passion for the outdoors and conservation are exceeded only by my desire to share those passions with others, Sadler said. OWAA members are the best communicators of those passions. To be able to help OWAA do more of that by growing the membership, increasing our supporter base and helping our members and supporters become successful is really an exciting opportunity. Specialties The Middle River Group is a strategic and tactical marketing, communications and advocacy firm focusing on conservation issues, especially when those issues affect fish, wildlife and natural resources. We provide diverse business expertise to the conservation and wildlife management community and the hunting, fishing and shooting sports industry. Our strength lies in policy development, messaging, coalition building, and political ground-truthing. read more ...
