Stakeholder Advisory Committee

The Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC) represents the many values of Virginia's citizens interested in hunting with hounds and will meet several times to learn about the issues, understand the various viewpoints, and consider alternative strategies for addressing the issues identified by the focus groups and through public input. SAC members will maintain communication between the citizen interests they represent and other committee members (as well as the VDGIF). The SAC will provide an opportunity for the many different interests to talk about and understand the views of others and will work with the technical committee to develop sound recommendations to provide diverse opportunities for hunting with hounds in Virginia in a manner that is fair, sportsmanlike and consistent with the rights of property owners and other citizens. SAC members, representing the broad spectrum of stakeholder interests, have been invited to participate by VDGIF and Virginia Tech personnel leading this process.

You can contact the members of the Stakeholder Advisory Committee directly by sending an e-mail to HoundHuntingSAC@vt.edu. Your e-mail will be distributed to all members of the Advisory Committee.
