The Recreation Roundtable was formed in 1989 to provide a key group of creative outdoor recreation industry CEO’s with a forum for discussions regarding public policies affecting recreation and to serve as a catalyst for partnership actions which enhance recreation opportunities in America. Membership includes the CEO’s of such companies as L.L. Bean, Walt Disney Attractions, Times Mirror Magazines, Outdoor Technologies Group, KOA and more.

The full Roundtable meets twice annually, although its committees and task forces are active throughout the year. Among its present priorities are responding forcefully to proposals for a federal tax on a wide range of recreation products to support state non-game wildlife programs and assisting federal agencies seeking to better understand and serve their customers.
