Administrative: Conservation Committee
About The Conservation Committee
This group's purpose is to provide leadership in working with the Board to establish conservation goals for the chapter and to stay current with National Audubon Society positions on such matters. This committee also develops conservation agendas and action strategies. They assist the Legislative Chair in planning the annual Legislative/Conservation chapter membership meeting and advise the RAS Board on developing conservation issues and possible chapter policies.
