Flyway Federation Appoints Michael “Duke” Lowrie as Managing Director

Lake Charles, LA — December 30,2025

Flyway Federation is pleased to announce the appointment of Michael “Duke” Lowrie as its new Managing Director, effective January 1st.

Lowrie brings decades of experience in waterfowl conservation, organizational leadership, and sportsmen-focused advocacy to Flyway Federation. He is widely recognized for his work with Delta Waterfowl during the early 2000s, where he played a meaningful role in advancing the organization’s mission and strengthening its national presence.

During his tenure with Delta Waterfowl, Lowrie served in leadership capacities that helped guide strategic direction and expand outreach. His work emphasized habitat restoration, the long-term sustainability of waterfowl populations, and the promotion of responsible, ethical hunting practices across North America. In addition to on-the-ground conservation initiatives, Lowrie was a strong advocate for education and public engagement, helping build awareness and support for waterfowl conservation among hunters, landowners, and the broader public.

“Duke Lowrie’s background, integrity, and passion for conservation align perfectly with the mission and values of Flyway Federation,” said Flyway Federation leadership. “His experience working within one of the most influential waterfowl organizations in North America gives him a deep understanding of both the opportunities and challenges facing modern waterfowl management.”

As Managing Director, Lowrie will oversee Flyway Federation’s strategic initiatives, organizational growth, partnerships, and policy-focused conservation efforts. His leadership comes at a critical time as Flyway Federation continues to advocate for science-based waterfowl management, fair-chase hunting ethics, and reforms that protect migratory bird populations and the traditions tied to them.

“I’m honored to step into this role with Flyway Federation,” said Lowrie. “The future of waterfowl conservation depends on principled leadership, transparency, and a willingness to challenge systems that no longer serve the resource. I look forward to working alongside Flyway Federation’s board, members, and partners to protect migration, habitat, and the hunting heritage we all value.”

Flyway Federation remains committed to uniting hunters, conservationists, and stakeholders across North America to defend migratory birds and ensure a sustainable future for waterfowl and the landscapes they depend on.
