Tia is an avid outdoorswoman and hunter. “What I love most about hunting is the opportunity to deeply appreciate the experience of the land and animals of God’s country. For me that means fully immersing myself in the communities and ways of life of the people that contribute to hunting and wildlife conservation.” For Tia, hunting is a family affair. “SCI’s motto of ‘hunt with your kids, not for them’, is very much a part of my family life. My kids were in a deer blind when my son was four and my daughter two. My husband and I have been on exciting hunting trips and they are my favorite memories and most meaningful moments of personal growth and accomplishment.”
Tia says, “I am thrilled to be joining Safari Club International and be part of the team leading the efforts to defend the freedom to hunt and promote wildlife conservation worldwide. Communication with our membership is a critical component of our relationship with hunters and advocates, and marketing efforts play a vital role in the presence and growth of SCI. I am looking forward to being a part of this organization and supporting the membership, chapters and growth of SCI to ensure hunting remains a part of our culture for generations to come.”
“SCI is excited to welcome Tia on board,” said Ben Cassidy, EVP of International Government & Public Affairs. “As First for Hunters, promoting the future of hunting is central to SCI’s mission. The Director of Marketing and Communications position will do just that for all hunters. Tia’s extensive experience coupled with her passion for the outdoors set her apart in leading these efforts. On behalf of our members worldwide, welcome!”
