• photographers
• fine artists
• lecturers/speakers
• bloggers and new media communicators
• communications and PR professionals
The mission of Outdoor Writers Association of America is to improve the professional skills of our members, set the highest ethical and communications standards, encourage public enjoyment and conservation of natural resources, and be mentors for the next generation of professional outdoor communicators.
We offer world-class resources, support, and inspiration for our members as they inform the public about outdoor activities, issues and the responsible use of our natural resources. Through OWAA membership and adherence to its creed and code of ethics, members are commissioned to provide honest, thorough, informed, responsible and unbiased outdoor coverage.
Educational and organizational information are provided to the OWAA membership through our award-winning bimonthly publication, Outdoors Unlimited, its membership directory, various other organization-related educational brochures and manuals, and social media.
The OWAA annual conference, which is held at a different location within the United States each year, enables association members to network, share and gather ideas and enjoy a level of camaraderie found in few other organizations.
