Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee Members

Board of Directors
Our chapter's Board of Directors provides the leadership and direction our chapter needs to fulfill its mission. Our Board is an engaged group, with each member involved in different aspects of the chapter's work. We're always looking for the next cohort of leaders to fill the ranks who are passionate about bird conservation and the environment as a whole. Does this sound like you?

Are you interested in helping Kitsap Audubon reach out to families and children? Are you able to help staff a Kitsap Audubon table at events and festivals? Could you give presentations to groups? Can you help us develop educational materials and resources?
If you answered yes to any one of the opportunities above, we’d love to have your help on the committee!
