Committee Chair Bios

Standing committee chairs have leadership roles in the chapter, but are not on the Board of Directors. They are appointed for a one-year term after which time they may seek re-appointment, apply for another position, or step down. 

Take a look at all the volunteers below who have stepped up to take a leading role in Eastside Audubon activities.  And there are many more who help them complete their various tasks.  We  would love to have you be part of this.  Contact our office at 425-576-8805 or office@eastsideaudubon.org to find out how.
