Thoughts From the WBA President – July 2008

What Great People. I’ve really enjoyed being part of WBA.

The run-up to the Conference in Dayton, drove home just why: What great people we have! Throughout the year our speakers and programs get lined up, the newsletter gets published, our website gets updated, field trips get planned and leaders come forward, refreshments are provided, etc., etc. And then there was preparation for the Conference, with Joyce Bergen running way out ahead of us, lining up everything and solving a last-minute glitch when our meeting venue was suddenly to be unavailable. Jennifer Kauffman stepped in to handle all the registration. Then the whole Board pitched in to cover Joyce’s to-do list — providing a species list, getting it and the program printed, providing soft drinks, and all.

Sure, there’s always more we could be doing–more outreach, fund-raising, more for kids, etc. If you’ve got ideas and are willing to get involved, let us know.
