Leaders from three Audubon chapters (Ohlone Audubon, Madrone Audubon, and Mt. Diable Audubon) met today at the Richardson Bay Audubon Center & Sanctuary with consultant Paquita Bath, who is being provided by Audubon California to help their chapters become even stronger forces for conservation in their communities. This was the first session in a six-month effort to draft new strategic plans for their chapters. Audubon California has enrolled 60 percent of the state's chapters in this first year of a two-year effort to build the strength of the local Audubon organizations. Chapters are already reporting success reaching their goals of attracting new and younger board members, improving governance, and strengthening their ability to partner with Audubon California and each other on conservation strategies and projects.
