| WE NEED YOU! |
|
Aiken Audubon is a volunteer organization. Whether you have a lot of time to offer, or just a few minutes every once in a while—we need you! Here are some opportunities:
Field Trip Leaders
Newsletter/Website Contributor
Conservation Chair
Bluebird Project Coordinator
Elected Board Members
Field Trip Leaders
Do you like to go birding? Would you like to have some company on your birding outings? You can be a beginner or an expert at bird identification. We are looking for people who know an area where birds are plentiful. You set the date and time and we advertise the trip. This is one of those opportunities that can flex to accommodate your available time—it can be a one-time trial, or you can lead trips on an ongoing basis. Top
Newsletter/Website Contributor
Would you like to write interesting or amusing articles about birds, birding, or related topics? Do you paint, sketch, or photograph bird-related subjects? Have you read a good book that other birders would enjoy? Are you aware of an upcoming event that would interest other Aiken members? What birding adventures have you had? Know any good bird jokes?
Share your knowledge and experience with us. We’ll consider anything you send in. Submissions go to: Leslie; give her a call at 495.8889. Top
Conservation Chair
Can you make a few phone calls or use a computer to encourage others to get involved in environmentally significant issues?
The Conservation Chair handles issues that arise either locally or on a state or national level. Both National Audubon and the Colorado state offices send out alerts on pending legislative decisions. These need to be forwarded to an e-mail tree of interested Aiken members.
Additional opportunities include writing letters to elected officials and the newspaper, attending informational meetings, and creating informative articles for the Aikorns (one page every two months).
This is an appointed Board position; the Board meets approximately five times per year. Top
Bluebird Project Coordinator
Our Aiken Bluebird Project is in need of a person to recruit and coordinate volunteers. Top

Elected Board Members Board meetings are currently held the first Wednesday of alternating months (September – May) 6:15 - 8pm. Rarely, an extra meeting is scheduled. Location varies; contact us for the latest information. Remember, no one expects you to do all the work yourself. A successful leader delegates responsibilities and tasks. The more people who are involved, the more chapter stakeholders we have, and the less work any one person has to perform. Let’s all get involved. Let’s do something for the birds!
