Big Day is coming up! Join a global community of birders and submit your lists on eBird! Lahontan Audubon Society is hosting several birdwalks this day, including Swan Lake, Damonte Wetlands, and a new spot in Sparks! Our field trips are limited so that everyone can get a chance to see the birds, so sign up early, or become a Lahontan Audubon Society member to get the earlybird registration link. What birds will you see on Big Day?

Board members or Trustees serve a three year term. The terms are staggered so that each year three of the nine trustee positions are up for reelection. Trustees are term limited to serving only three consecutive terms or nine years. Two of our wonderful Trustees, Mike Goddard and Bill Fletcher, have reached their term limit. The third trustee, Linda St-Cyr, is not term-limited and has agreed to be a candidate for the upcoming election. Ordinarily the qualifications for a Trustee is membership in LAS and the willingness to faithfully serve. However, this year we have a specific need for one candidate to be willing and able to serve as the treasurer. This position does not require a degree in accounting or a CPA but does require attention to detail and the willingness to learn the Neon CRM computer program as well as QuickBooks. If you are interested in this position but have questions about what it entails, please contact Bill Fletcher at bill.fletcher@nevadaaudubon.org If you are interested in one of the two general trustee positions or have questions about serving on the Board please contact suzie.reynolds@nevadaaudubon.org. Join the Board and help steer LAS into the future! |
