A governing board was created and the first list of officers was dated back in 1998. Officers included President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Public Director, Education, Fund Raising, Membership, Program Director, Newsletter, Social Director and Trip Director.
As of 1991 there were 51 members and the club joined the Federation of Fly Fishers. In 2002 a Certificate of Incorporation was granted our club. In 2003 the club name changed to Fly Fishing Women of Minnesota. Here is the first logo we used with that name.
This logo has since been updated to the one you see today on our website.
