Allen Odiet

Allen was a life-long hunter and his passion for wildlife conservation and hunters’ rights never faltered from his first day afield to his last. Allen was an SCI member for over 39 years, a Life Member for 27 years, and served on the chapter Board of Directors for more than 28 years. He served as Chapter President three times, and also held the offices of Vice-President and Treasurer multiple times.

Allen hunted countless times in the U.S., Canada and Argentina, and had been on three African safaris. Allen always enjoyed golf in the summer, but when the air turned crisp with the hint of fall, Allen put his clubs away and prepared his rifles for the hunting season. He enjoyed everything about the outdoors, but especially the annual SCI Convention, the Chapter fundraiser banquets, and the many, many friends he made through SCI.

The Illinois & Chicago Chapter is proud to honor Allen Odiet for his contributions and dedication to SCI and to our chapter. We were privileged to have Allen as a great friend, as well as an esteemed member of our Chapter’s Hall of Fame.
