Mission

Trout Unlimited ("TUN") is a national grassroots membership organization with chapters spread across the United States. A State Council supervises chapters in each state. The New York State Council of Trout Unlimited (referred to as "NYSCTU") is a financially independent affiliate of TUN Approximately 8,500 TUN members belong to 26 active chapters. NYSCTU is governed by an Executive Committee comprising 27 New York-based Chapter member volunteers. The Chairperson, Vice-Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer, and nine Regional Vice Presidents are elected in alternate years to 2-year terms. There are no term limits, so some Executive Committee members have served for many years. The Chairperson appoints additional Executive Committee members. During the latest fiscal, Executive Committee members devoted 2700 hours to NYSCTU programs and activities.NYSCTU's Mission Statement:To unite people to care for conserve, protect, restore, and sustain coldwater fisheries and their watersheds in New York an
