MAT Mission:
"Helping State Fish and Wildlife Agencies to Achieve Excellence"
The Management Assistance Team (MAT) works as consultants and trainers to assist fish and wildlife professionals with a wide range of agency management-related challenges. The MAT team is funded by a multi-state conservation grant through the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies; therefore, MAT exclusively serves state fish and wildlife agencies. There is no charge for MAT time, or for the MAT developed teaching material. States are only charged for MAT travel, lodging, and per diem. MAT is passionate about providing quality, accessibility, and responsiveness.
MAT's Vision:
"One day the Management Assistance Team will have helped state fish and wildlife agencies attain a level of agency management undreamed of in state government or even private industry. Fish and wildlife agencies will be run so effectively that there will be world-wide recognition of their effectiveness — governors, state legislators, and commissions will acknowledge the excellence of state fish and wildlife agencies’ efforts and exhort their other state agencies to emulate the examples. State fish and wildlife agencies will be able to implement change seamlessly and respond immediately to changing natural conditions, changes in public desires, and economic changes."
