The Wisconsin Outdoor Communicators Association is an organization of outdoor writers, photographers, podcasters, and radio and television communicators. Membership is open to anyone involved in outdoor communications. We meet annually to share our skills and knowledge, and provide a communications link among the state’s outdoor communicators and content creators.

The WOCA 2024 annual meeting is Aug. 2-3 at the Trees for Tomorrow education center in Eagle River. Please make plans to attend by registering with Laurel Steffes. The meeting registration form and agenda will be posted under “News” when it’s complete. If you have not renewed your membership for 2024, now is a good time.
