Meet the Board

The Board of Directors for LCBAS is responsible for determining the policies and goals for the chapter. They meet on the first Tuesday of the month between September - June. They also hold a planning meeting in August, the date of which is not fixed.

Members of the board include four officers (President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer), the immediate Past President, and eight standing committee chairs (see list below). We also have several special committees; the chairs of these committees can choose to be voting board members. We can also elect Directors at Large, who are not officers nor head a committee.

If you are interested in helping with LCBAS activities, please contact the Chair of the appropriate committee. If you are interested in serving on the Board of Directors, contact the President.

2026-2027 LCBAS Elections

It’s that time of year again - we need you to vote for LCBAS Officers and Standing Committee Chairs!  All current, dues-paying members are encouraged to vote.

LCBAS elections will be held during our May 26th chapter meeting. More information is available in our upcoming May Curlew.

Please consider volunteering

to keep our chapter running!

 

  • Think of LCBAS as your favorite mixed flock of birds - the larger it is and the more diverse the individuals within it, the stronger, more relevant, and more resilient LCBAS will be.

  • And that’s precisely why we know you can help us help birds and their habitat. You have unique talents and experiences, and we would love your support. LCBAS offers many ways to volunteer that protects and advocates for birds. You don’t need to be an expert birder, all you need is enthusiasm and a desire to help; we have plenty of opportunities for you to choose from! We’ll provide training, guidance, and moral support to new board members. The time commitment for these positions can be variable, but also flexible.

  • Any LCBAS member who is interested in a position is welcome and strongly encouraged to volunteer or be nominated for a position. If you would like to volunteer for a position or nominate someone else (with their permission), you can contact Debbie Berkowitz at: secretary.lcbas@gmail.com or volunteer at the meeting. We welcome your assistance with any part of running LCBAS, but we especially need help in our open positions
