Audubon Members Meeting Takes Place Saturday, December 6:
Six New National Board Members Elected
New York, NY, Monday, December 8, 2003 - The Annual National Audubon
Members' Meeting took place this past Saturday, December 6, in
Erlanger, Kentucky. This was the first Audubon meeting in which Carol
Browner served as Board Chair. The agenda included three key items:
member approval of several annual reports; election of new directors;
and an open session to hear from members.
The membership elected twelve directors to the Class of 2006,
including six new directors - Lynn Dolnick, Lloyd Semple, Michael
Stolper, Ione Werthman, John Whittle, and Steven T. Zimmerman; and six
directors re-elected to serve another term - Leslie Dach, Jack
Dempsey, Vivian Johnson, David Walsh, John L. Whitmire, and Alan
Wilson.
The meeting also approved the annual Treasurer's Report, Board of
Directors Report, and the Audit Committee Report. The Treasurer's
report summarized a balanced budget for the fiscal year ending June
30, 2003. The final piece of regular business included the report
from the Audit Committee summarizing that the independent auditors
Deloitte & Touche expressed satisfaction and had no disagreements with
Audubon's financial statements.
During the open session of the meeting, members presented five
resolutions to the assembly. They included items related to Chapter
financial support and National Board governance. These resolutions
were also discussed at the September Board meeting in Los Angeles. At
that meeting the Board referred the resolutions to committees for
further consideration. After some discussion, and with the addition
of a report on the Ad hoc Committee's progress by Bill McQuilkin, the
Annual Meeting of Members voted unanimously to have the resolutions
considered by the appropriate Board committees.
At the close of the meeting Carol Browner urged the members present,
Chapters, State, and Home offices to focus on the many challenges
facing all of us in both making new progress and maintaining the gains
already made on conservation and environmental protection throughout
the country. She urged the Audubon Family to continue to rise to
these challenges. John Flicker thanked outgoing Chair Donal O'Brien
for his leadership and a quarter century of service to Audubon, and
welcomed Carol Browner as the new Chair of the Board.
