Benefits:

One of the biggest perks about being an LMM Captain is passing on the sport of fishing and the feeling of fulfillment. When you host an LMM, you will go home with a full heart and a big smile. Each meetup is always different, as each group is always unique, but there is always so many memories and connections made.

Although LMM has been around now since 2019, we just received our nonprofit status. This means, we are not able to compensate for your time and planning at this point in time. However, we can provide our Captains with a few other perks that will be discussed during the initial interview. Captains will also be recognized on the Ladies Midwest Meetup website, social media platforms, and upcoming monthly newsletters.
