THE FIRST LADY COUNCIL PRESIDENT IS SEATED The Southern Council steps into the history books with the first lady Council President ever in the FFF. Sheryl Knight took the reins in October of the largest Federation Council. From Arlington, Texas, Sheryl has deep roots in flyfishing and the Federation since the early 80s. Serving successfully as SOC Outreach Chair and VP of Conservation on their BOD, she has been an impressive addition to the council and our National Conservation Committee. She was a founding board member of the Heart of America Flyfishers and has also served the Ft. Worth Fly Fishers on their BOD for some time as well as being recognized in "Texas Flyfishing Women". Sheryl also brings to the position a 20 year professional career as a CPCU insurance executive giving lectures around the country in her areas of expertise. Her husband Ron introduced her to fly fishing and is also a passionate fly fisher as well. He is the author of "Fly Fishing Spinner Baits "a recently published book which has been very successful. They are members of the FFF Presidents Club, as such; two make a great team and will certainly bring a new and fresh vision to the FFF with a lady's slant on the sport. (They do switch off paddling the boat if that tells you anything!) Roger Maler Past President Southern Council
