- Identifying topics for discussion at Roundtable meetings. Actively sharing information and ideas with Roundtable members and CPW staff during and between meetings.
- Providing your contact information on the CPW Roundtable webpage and being available to sportspersons around the state to discuss information pertinent to the Roundtable.

Sportsperson’s Roundtable
Hunters and anglers are vitally important to CPW and the successful management of Colorado’s wildlife. Sportspersons are directly affected by the agency’s fish and wildlife management decisions and provide much of the state’s wildlife conservation funding. CPW encourages effective channels for consulting with the state’s hunters and anglers through the Sportsperson’s Roundtable.
The Sportsperson’s Roundtable comprises members representing a broad range of hunting, fishing and trapping interests in Colorado. These interests include but are not limited to, small and big game hunting, sport fishing, outfitting and other sportsperson-dependent businesses.
The Roundtable meets in person twice a year to help the agency by sharing information, discussing important topics and identifying emerging issues. For more information about the Sportsperson’s Roundtable, visit EngageCPW.
