The Association

The Beaver Dam Lake Improvement Association (BDLIA) is a non-profit organization driven to protect and enhance Beaver Dam Lake.  We are governed by an elected board of directors.

Our members represent businesses, government, environmental groups, community organizations, lake property owners and many citizens of Beaver Dam and Dodge County who want to help improve the lake.

BDLIA's four major pillars:  1-Projects and Grants, 2- Community Engagement, 3-Essential Activities, 4-Fundraising & Volunteer Engagement.

Our mission - We strive to engage the community in recreational activities; generate long-term restoration projects working with like-minded, but diverse partners; and educate the community on improving the quality of Beaver Dam Lake to improve and protect Beaver Dam Lake for the benefit of current and future generations.

Our vision - We envision a clean, restored, resilient Beaver Dam Lake with gorgeous sunsets, recreational activities, and abundant wildlife for future generations.
