The Organization of Fish
and Wildlife Information Managers (OFWIM) is a non-profit organization whose goal is to
promote the management and conservation of natural resources by facilitating technology
and information exchange among fish and wildlife information managers. OFWIM was
formally established in 1993 and was granted non-profit status in 1995.
In achieving its
mission, OFWIM emphasizes coordination, outreach, technical assistance, and continuing
education. Objectives within each of these focus areas are met through the
production of an information newsletter (published 3 times each year), sponsorship of an
annual national meeting, sponsorship of regional meetings, sponsorship of and participation
in training sessions, and the maintenance of the OFWIM-L listserve.
