OIA President and CEO Frank Huglemeyer continues to bring the voice of the outdoor industry to bear on the stream access issue in Utah.

Governor Gary Herbert’s approval of a new law that will block access to streams running through private property has already damaged Utah’s reputation nationally as a welcoming place for those who enjoy the outdoors.  That’s according to Frank Hugelmeyer, President and CEO of the Outdoor Industry Association.  The organization sponsors the Outdoor Retailer Summer and Winter Markets, which bring tens of thousands of people to the Salt Palace each year.
