Blackwood Hired as Regional Director of Development

The Ruffed Grouse Society and American Woodcock Society (RGS & AWS) are proud to announce the hiring of Glen Blackwood as the newly appointed director of regional development in Michigan. In his role, Blackwood will direct business development and fundraising programs in Michigan, Illinois and Indiana along with promoting recruitment events, educational activities and habitat days.

“Regional directors are the gears that keep our network rolling. They lead the business aspect of conservation funding, and without them, nothing gets done — it’s that simple,” stated Ben Jones, President and CEO of RGS & AWS. “In Glen we have an incredible mix of business sense, years of RGS/AWS volunteer experience and a passion for this work. Not to mention his chops as an upland bird hunter and dog handler. Glen is the real deal, and we couldn’t be more excited to have him leading our Michigan and eastern Great Lakes network.”
