Ducks Unlimited President Bob Spoerl

I had a great time joining Dr. Mike and Chairman Chuck on this episode of the DU Podcast. Take a listen to learn more about volunteerism at a leadership level and more.

While attending the Congressional Baseball Game in Washington, D.C., on June 12, I was proud to have met with several DU staff members and members of Congress, including Congressman Derrick Van Orden from Wisconsin.

I want to say a special thanks to the great group of staffers and volunteers, along with partners and sponsors from Purina Pro Plan, Farm Credit, American Sugar Alliance, US Rice Producers Association, and National Cotton Council of America for hosting Team DU prior to the game and for a great weekend. 🤝

Ducks Unlimited recently elected Robert “Bob” Spoerl as the organization's 47th president. Spoerl succeeds Chuck Smith, who now serves as DU board chairman. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4c8aQNp

From here on out, this account will be branded as the voice and vision of DU's 47.
