Washington - The Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation (CSF), the most respected and trusted sportsmen's organization in the political arena, announced today that Leslie Garrett has joined the organization as Marketing Director. Garrett comes to CSF with more than 15 years of combined marketing, communications, and public relations experience. In this new role, Garrett will be responsible for establishing and implementing CSF's marketing strategies to increase brand awareness.

"We are excited to have Leslie join our team at CSF," said Jeff Crane, CSF President. "Her diverse skill set and passion for the outdoors will help to grow and strengthen the CSF brand."

Prior to joining CSF, Garrett was Senior Manager of Corporate Communications at Intersections Inc. During her tenure, she played a pivotal role serving as the primary in-house media relations and corporate communications liaison where her efforts helped to secure media interviews with top-tier news outlets such as CNN and NBC. She also served as co-chair for the Intersections Corporate Charity Committee.

Earlier successes include managing offline and online acquisition marketing campaigns for AOL where she was awarded the Excellence in Action Award and earned a spot on the Designated Top Talent list two years in a row.

Leslie's passion for the outdoors comes from her father who taught her the traditions of hunting and fishing and the importance of conservation. Leslie holds a degree from Saint Leo University and currently resides in Northern Virginia with her husband and three children.



Since 1989 CSF has maintained a singleness of purpose that has guided the organization to become the most respected and trusted sportsmen's organization in the political arena. CSF's mission is to work with Congress, governors, and state legislatures to protect and advance hunting, angling, recreational shooting and trapping. The unique and collective force of the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus (CSC), the Governors Sportsmen's Caucus (GSC) and the National Assembly of Sportsmen's Caucuses (NASC), working closely with CSF, and with the support of major hunting, angling, recreational shooting and trapping organizations, serves as an unprecedented network of pro-sportsmen elected officials that advance the interests of America's hunters and anglers.
