The Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation (CSF) announced today that Kaylee Mortensen has joined the organization as the Southwestern States Coordinator. In this role, Kaylee will work closely with the state legislative sportsmen’s caucuses under the National Assembly of Sportsmen’s Caucuses (NASC) and members of the Governors Sportsmen’s Caucus (GSC) in Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah to protect and promote America’s outdoor traditions.
“The Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation is a true safeguard of America’s sporting heritage and the caliber at which the organization operates is remarkable,” said Kaylee. “CSF staff work with great devotion to protect the legacy of our outdoor traditions, and I am honored to join their team.”
Prior to joining CSF, Kaylee worked as the Wildlife Events Marketing Specialist for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, where she led the statewide Wildlife Recreation Events Program to increase participation in hunting, fishing, shooting sports, and wildlife viewing. Her work focused on the R3 strategy of recruiting new participants, retaining existing ones, and reactivating former sportsmen and women. During her collegiate years, she also completed an internship with the U.S House of Representatives.
Kaylee earned bachelor’s degrees in English Literature and International Affairs, with an emphasis in Foreign Relations and Security from the University of Utah. She also holds a Master of Public Administration focused on outdoor recreation, tourism, and marketing.
A native of the American West, Kaylee grew up ice fishing and skiing in Utah’s Wasatch Mountains. She is an enthusiastic fly fisher and is particularly fond of the Henry’s Fork of the Snake River. Kaylee now calls California’s Central Coast her home and when she is not in the water or on the slopes, she enjoys upland and waterfowl hunting, and exploring public lands by way of overlanding.
