Preliminary Report and Draft Recommendations
The National Audubon Society Ad Hoc Chapter Committee has been working on
Chapter-NAS Partnership issues for over a year, and we are now sharing with you
our draft recommendations for strengthening this partnership. Our preliminary
report, including draft recommendations and appendices, is now available for
your review on the Web at http://www.audubon.org/local/cso/adhoccom/. In
addition, we will mail a hard copy early next week to all Chapter Presidents
and Vice Presidents. You are strongly encouraged to share these materials with
other Chapter leaders who have an interest in the recommendations.
Over the next several months, we will be making extensive efforts to contact
all Chapters, State Boards, and State Offices to get further feedback and open
a constructive dialogue around these draft materials. Your careful
consideration of these new ideas and partnering approaches will help make this
process successful for all of us.
The comment and discussion period will run from now through November and end on
December 1. During December, the Committee will integrate the Chapter and
staff feedback into the final report and then present the final recommendations
to the NAS Board of Directors for approval at the January, 2005 Board meeting
in Naples, FL.
